Julissa is printing out copies for a work training. It takes 4 minutes to print a color copy, and it takes 2 minutes to print a grayscale copy. She needs to print no fewer than 8 copies within 25 minutes.

Which system of inequalities represents the number of color copies, x, and grayscale copies, y, that Julissa can print to meet her goal?

Answer:

4x  + 2y  ≤  25   ,      x + y ≥  8     is the required system of inequalities to represent the given situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, let  the number of color copies =  x

Now, the time taken to print each color copy = 4 minutes

⇒Time taken to print x color copies = x times ( Time taken by each copy)

= 4 (x)   = 4x

and let  the number gray scale copies =  y

The time taken to print each gray scale copy = 2 minutes

⇒Time taken to print y gray scale copy = y times (Time taken by each copy)

= 2 (y)   = 2y

Total copies printed = x + y

Maximum time taken to print x  color copies and y grayscale copies

= 4x  + 2y

So, according to the question:

4x  + 2y  ≤  25 ( as maximum allotted time is 25 minutes)

and x + y ≥  8      (as minimum number of copies is 8)

hence, the above system is the required system of inequalities to represent the given situation.

I hope this helps.
