Exercise 4 Page 129

Imagine you are throwing a birthday party and want to give your guests prizes for the party games you are planning. You are considering giving two options for the prizes and you have a $120 budget. The prizes you are interested in buying are puppy dog stuffed animals P that cost $8 each and squirt guns G that cost $10 each. If we model this situation like in the Explorations, we have: $8* P + $10* G=$120.We can then find the possible combinations of prize purchases by graphing the line and finding the ordered pairs with both P and G being integer values.

These values tell us that we can purchase the following combinations of toys: &$ 0$ puppy stuffed animals and $ 12$ squirt guns, &$ 5$ puppy stuffed animals and $ 8$ squirt guns, &$ 10$ puppy stuffed animals and $ 4$ squirt guns, &$ 15$ puppy stuffed animals and $ 0$ squirt guns.
