1. **State the problem:** Dominique can spend up to 20 dollars on drinks for the dance squad. A bottle of water costs 0.80 and a sports drink costs 1.25. We need to write inequalities representing the spending limit in both slope-intercept and standard form, where $x$ is the number of water bottles and $y$ is the number of sports drinks.
2. **Define variables:**
- $x$: number of water bottles
- $y$: number of sports drinks
3. **Write the inequality for total cost:**
The total cost is $0.80x + 1.25y$ and it must be less than or equal to 20:
$$0.80x + 1.25y \leq 20$$
4. **Convert to slope-intercept form:**
Solve for $y$:
$$1.25y \leq 20 - 0.80x$$
$$y \leq \frac{20 - 0.80x}{1.25}$$
Simplify the fractions:
$$y \leq 16 - 0.64x$$
5. **Convert to standard form with integers:**
Multiply both sides of the original inequality by 100 to clear decimals:
$$80x + 125y \leq 2000$$
Divide by 5 to simplify:
$$16x + 25y \leq 400$$
6. **Interpretation:**
- The slope-intercept form $y \leq 16 - 0.64x$ shows the maximum sports drinks $y$ Dominique can buy given $x$ water bottles.
- The standard form $16x + 25y \leq 400$ represents the same constraint with integer coefficients.
**Final answers:**
- Slope-intercept form: $$y \leq 16 - 0.64x$$
- Standard form: $$16x + 25y \leq 400$$
