System of Inequalities Application
Example:
Luis receives a gift card worth $25 to an online retailer that sells digital music and games. Each song costs $0.89, and each game costs $1.99. He wants to buy at least 15 items with this card.
Set up a system of inequalities that represents this scenario, and identify the range of possible purchases using a graph.

Example:
Leyla is selling hot dogs and spicy sausages at the fair. She has only 40 buns, so she can sell no more that a total of 40 hot dogs and spicy sausages. Each hot dog sells for $2, and ecah sausage sells for $2.50. Leyla needs at least $90 in sales to meet her goal.
Write and graph a system of inequalities that models this situation.
