Mrs. Peterson is throwing a Super Bowl Party on Sunday and plans to spend less than $180 on appetizers. She is planning to serve a hot wing platter and a shrimp platter to her guests. Mrs. Peterson’s local caterer will charge her $6 per pound for hot wings and $12 per pound for shrimp. Mrs. Peterson wants no more than 10 pounds of appetizers. a) Write a system of linear inequalities that can be used to find the possible combinations of how many pounds of hot wings and shrimp Mrs. Peterson can buy.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
