10y + 3x < = 100 (thats a less then or equal sign)

Answer:

10y + 3x ≤ 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter wants to buy pizza pie which costs $10 each and bread sticks costing $3 each.

He can not spend more than $100.

If he purchased number of pizzas = y

Then the cost of pizzas = 10y

If he purchased number of bread sticks = x

Then the cost of the bread sticks = 3x

Total expenditure = 10y + 3x

If the expenditure is not more than $100

So the equation that models the expenditure will be

10y + 3x ≤ 100
