Let x represent the number of small candle. let y represent the number the number of large candles.
a small candle costs $2.25and a large candle cost 4.75 jerome cannot spend more than $80. write an inequality that models the amount spent on small and large candles

The inequality that models the situation is

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represent the number of small candles

y ----> represent the number of large candles

we know that

The inequality that represent this situation is equal to

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded triangular area, because the number of candles cannot be a negative number

see the attached figure

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
