A class of X boys and Y girls'

the number of boys is at least 4

the number of girls is at least 6

the number of students at most 15

i)write down three inequalities

ii)define the region satisfy inequalities

The school uniform costs $200 for every boy $350 for girls

iii)Calculate the maximum cost for the school uniform


2) Rapid Delivery Services have to deliver 1350 parcels to
the next town.

The lorries can take 150 parcels at a time

and their vans can take 90 parcels at a time

(a) If x lorries and y vans are used, show 5x+3y> 45

(b) Only twelve drivers are available, so twelve vehicles at


most can be used.

Write down another inequality which must be satisfied by x


and y.

(c) At least four vans must be used.

Write this as a third inequality.

(d) Represent the three inequalities on your graph. indicate

clearly, by shading the unwanted regions. the region within


which (x, y) must lie.

(e) The cost of one lorry journey is S30 and the cost of one
van journey is S20.

Use your graph to find how many lorries und how many vans
will be needed to deliver the parcels at the least cost.

What is that least cost?


A farmer keeps x goats and y cows

Each goat costs $2 a day to feed and

each cow costs $4 a day to feed

The farmer can only afford to spend $32 a day on animal


food.

( a) Show that x +2y < 16

( b) The farrmer has room for no more than 12 animal's.

He wants to keap at least 6 goats and at least 3 cows.

Write down three more inequalities.

(c) using a scale of l crn to represent I unit on each axis.

represent the four inequalities on graph.

(d) One possible combination which satisfies all the


inequalities is 6 goats and 4 cows.

Write down all the other possib!e combinations.

If he makes a profit $50 on each goat

and $80 on each cow.

(e) which combination will give him the greatest profit !


calculate the profit in this case
