The junior class is selling Caramel Apple lollipops and Gourmet lollipops to raise money for prom. They profit 50 cents and 75 cents from each Caramel Apple lollipop and Gourmet lollipop sold, respectively. At least $250 must be raised from the fundraiser. Which graph represents the possible combinations of lollipops they can sell to meet or exceed their goal?
If we let x as the number of Caramel Apple lollipops sold y as the number of Gourmet lollipops sold
Then, we can make an inequality from the given which is 0.50x + 0.75y ≥ 250 The graph of this inequality would have a y intercept of 500 and a slope of 2/3 and includes all the points above the solid line.
