Select the correct answer.

Julissa is printing out copies for a work training. It takes 4 minutes to print a color copy, and it takes 2 minutes to print a grayscale copy. She needs to print no fewer than 8 copies within 25 minutes.

Which system of inequalities represents the number of color copies, x, and grayscale copies, y, that Julissa can print to meet her goal?

A.

2x + 4y ≤ 25

x + y ≥ 8

B.

4x + 2y ≥ 25

x + y ≥ 8

C.

4x + 2y ≤ 25

x + y ≤ 8

D.

4x + 2y ≤ 25

x + y ≥ 8

    D) 4x + 2y ≤ 25, x + y ≥ 8 is the required system of inequalities

    to represent the given situation.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, let the number of color copies = x

    Now, the time taken to print each color copy = 4 minutes

    ⇒Time taken to print x color copies = x times (Time taken by each copy)

    = 4 (x) = 4x

    and let the number gray scale copies = y

    The time taken to print each gray scale copy = 2 minutes

    ⇒Time taken to print y gray scale copy = y times (Time taken by each copy)

    = 2 (y) = 2y

    Total copies printed = x + y

    Maximum time taken to print x color copies and y grayscale copies

    = 4x + 2y

    So, according to the question:

    4x + 2y ≤ 25 (as maximum allotted time is 25 minutes)

    and x + y ≥ 8 (as minimum number of copies is 8)

    hence, the above system is the required system of inequalities to represent the given situation.
