8. Answer the whole of this question on a sheet graph paper

Kankolonkolo intends to run a business of selling Coca cola. He needs to order at
least 10 small bottles and at most 60 large bottles of Coca cola. He decides to order
at most 80 bottles of Coca cola altogether and the number of large bottles he orders
should be at least twice that of small bottles.
(a) Given that 𝑥 is the number of small bottles and 𝑦 is the number of large bottles,
write four inequalities which represent these conditions. [4]
(b) Using a scale of 2cm to represent 10 bottles on each axis, draw the x and y axes
for 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 80 and 0 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 80 respectively and shade the unwanted region to
show clearly the region where the solution of the inequalities lie. [4]
(c) The profit on the sale of each small bottle of Coca cola is K1.50 while on each
large bottle of Coca cola profit is K2.50. How many bottles of each type can be
bought to make maximum profit? [2]
(d) Hence, find this maximum profit. [2]
