Answer key

Student Council has been given $1,000 to start a school garden. They have asked

your class for some help. They want to purchase apple and orange trees with this

money for the garden but do not know how many trees to buy.

Part 1

Student Council has given you this information:

Fuji Apple Trees, x, cost $32.99 each

Washington Navel Orange Trees, y, cost $29.99 each

Student count wants to spend, as close as possible, equal amount of money on the two

different trees.

1. What is the max number of apple and orange trees that can be purchased without

going over budget?

A. Write an equation showing how to solve each amount.

Apple: 32.99x = 500 Orange: 29.99y = 500

B. How many apple and orange trees can the school purchase?

Apple: 15

Orange: 16

C. How much money will be spent on each?

Apple: 495.85 Orange: 479.84

David in your class says that student council can purchase 16 apple trees. Is he correct?

Circle: Yes or No

Part 2

If David is correct, justify your answer:

If David is incorrect, justify your answer: David is rounding incorrectly. The

answer is approximately 15.16, and should be rounded down, not up.

Using the chart, if the school has 705 students, write and solve an expression that shows x,

how many apples, and y, how many oranges each student would receive.

From your data Student Council has decided that more orange trees than apple trees need to

be planted. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your reasoning.

Yes, more orange trees need to be purchased because students will receive approximately

2/3 more apples than oranges

Part 4

1. Student Council wants to make sure that each student receives equal amounts of

apples and oranges. Using diagrams, equations, charts, etc, justify the new total

amount of fruit trees that need to be purchased without going over the budget of

2. Write and solve an inequality justifying that you are still within budget. (Remember to

include the one-time $50 delivery fee.)

7x + 23y + 50 < 1000 7(32.99) + 23(29.99) + 50< 1000

230.93 + 689.77+ 50 < 1000

970.70 < 1000
