Write the system of inequalities
Carlos works at a movie theater selling tickets. The theater has 300 seats and charges $7.50 for adults and $5.50 for children. The theater expects to make at least $2000 for each showing.  

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y<300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≤2000
• x+y>2000
  7.5x+5.5y≤300

• (8,0)

• (0,6)

Sarah makes small purses (x) and big purses (y). She can make no more than 8 purses a week.
Which inequality represents the situation?

• x + y ≤ 8
• x + y ≤ 6
• 2x + 3y ≤ 6
• x + y ≤ 10

It takes Sarah 2 hours to make small purses and 3 hours to make big purses. She has a maximum of 18 hours a week. Which inequality represents this situation?

• 2x + 3y ≤ 18
• x + y ≤ 6
• x + y ≤ 9
• 3x + 2y ≤ 18

Sarah makes $30 for each small purse (x) and $50 for each big purse (y). What is the objective quantity?

• P = 30x + 50y
• P = 50x + 30y

Objective quantity:
P = 30x + 50y
Corner that maximizes profit: (0, 6)

• 280
• 400
• 240

A farmer can plant up to 6 acres of land with soybeans and corn. Her use of a necessary pesticide is limited by federal regulations to 15 gallons for her entire 6 acres. Soybeans require 2 gallons of pesticide for every acre planted and corn requires 3 gallons per acre. The profit the farmer makes by earning $4,000 for every acre of soybeans she plants and $3,000 for every acre she plants with barley can be modeled by P=4000x+3000y . If x represents acres of soybeans and y represents acres of corns, which inequalities represent the possible solutions to her situation?

• x≥0

  y≥0

  x+y≥6

  3x+2y≥15

• x≥0

  y≥0

  x+y≤6

  2x+3y≤15

• x≥0

  y≥0

  4000x+y≤6

  2x+600y≤15

• P=4000x+3000y

Which are vertices of the feasible region?

• (0,0) (0, 3)

  (3, 0) (5, 8)

• (0,0) (0, 6)

  (3, 5) (6, 5)

• (0,0) (3, 3)

  (8, 5) (5, 8)

• (0,0) (0, 5)

  (6, 0) (3, 3)

The FFA Club plans to grow Christmas trees as a project. There is a 1200 square foot plot of land available at their school to grow balsam fir and Douglas fir trees. There are only 576 pounds of fertilizer available.

The profit for each balsam fir tree is $15 and $18 for each Douglas fir tree.

Which of the following is an Objective Function that relates maximum profit?

• P = x + y

• P = 576x + 1200y

• P = 15x + 18y

• P = 1200x + 576y

• x = 0, y = 300

• x = 150, y = 150

• x = 100, y 150

• x = 150, y = 100
