For this case we have the following variables:

x = the number of wing servings

y = the number of burgers

We write the system of equations:

"Sara knows that at least 4 of her friends want wings":

x> = 4

"Sara must spend less than $ 45.00":

6x + 3y <45

Answer:

Sara could use the following system of inequalities to determine how many of each kind of food She can serve:

6x + 3y <45x> = 4
