2. Read the scenario. Use the information to complete the problems that follow. Sanibel wants to sell duct tape wallets at the farmer’s market. She bought $20 worth of tape to get started. She plans to charge $2.50 per yard of duct tape that she uses for each wallet, to pay for both the tape and for the time she spends making each wallet. 2 2.3.1: Solving Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

3. 1.Write an equation to show Sanibel’s revenue per wallet. 1.Graph the equation using graph paper. 2.What happens if Sanibel decides to charge $4 per yard? Write a new equation and graph the equation on graph paper. 2.3.1: Solving Linear Inequalities in Two Variables 3

4. 1.Write an equation to show Sanibel’s revenue per wallet. Write the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Use the information from the scenario to fill in the equation. Let x = the amount of tape used to make each wallet. Sanibel plans to charge $2.50 per yard of tape. Charge for tape used = 2.50x Sanibel spent $20 on supplies. Since she hasn’t sold any wallets yet, show this amount as a negative. Initial cost for tape = –20 y = 2.50x – 20 4 2.3.1: Solving Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

6. 3.What happens if Sanibel decides to charge $4 per yard? Write a new equation and graph it. Modify the equation you wrote for problem 1 to reflect the new price per yard. Original equation: y = 2.50x – 20 Substitute the new price, $4, for the old price, $2.50. New equation: y = 4x – 20 6 2.3.1: Solving Linear Inequalities in Two Variables
