In this project, you are going to research 2 items you would like to buy. One item needs to be exactly $2.95 and the other $3.45. You are going to buy a total of 80 items. You have a budget of $250 to spend. Make sure the items you find are school appropriate.

1. Research 2 items you would like to purchase. Write down what you are buying next to the respective cost.

a. Item A ($2.95): Retractable Earbuds

b. Item B ($3.45): Hand Sanitizer Spray

2. Can you write an equation that represents the total number of items you can buy using the variables (x) and (y). Refer to the top of the page for the total number of items information.

a. Total equation is: x +y = 80

3. Can you write an equation that represents how many items you can buy based on the cost of each item using (x) and (y). Use the budget from the intro and the information from question 1 to formulate this equation. a. Budget equation is: 2.95x + 3.45y = 250

1. Can you write the 2 equations below. Then, solve for y in each equation.
