Jose can spend no more than 24$ to buy oranges and apples. he will pay 3$ per pound for oranges and $4 per pound for apples. draw a graph that represents the number of pounds of oranges as the number of pounds of apples jose can buy.

hint first, write an inequality. then, find the x and y intercepts to draw your line. consider whether you need a solid or dotted line. do not forget to shade.

Jose can spend no more than---------- > 24$ to buy oranges and apples

let
x----------------- > number of pounds of apples Jose can buy----> 4$ per pound
y-----------------> number of pounds of oranges Jose can buy----> 3$ per pound
we have that
4x+3y<=24----------------- > this is the inequality required
with x>=0 and y>=0
using a graph tool
see the attached figure

the x-intercept is the point (6,0) maximum number of pounds of apples
the y-intercept is the point (0,8) maximum number of pounds of oranges

The solution is the triangular figure shown in the drawing

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
