(A) Represent a situation in the form of a linear inequality.

Inequality > ≥ < ≤

Symbol

Meaning - greater than - greater than or - less than - less than or equal to
- more than equal to - not more than
- not less than - at most
- at least - maximum
- minimum

not more than 40.

12. Lim bought x kg of rambutans and y kg of langsat with the total mass of both fruits is
at least 5 kg.

13. The price of a pen and a book is RM 1 and RM 2 respectively. Gopal sold p pens and
q books with the total sales is more than RM 250 a week.

14. Nieza fills 0.5 kg of flour into x small containers and 1.5 kg of flour into y big
containers. The total mass of flour filled is less than 10 kg.

15. Mr. Chong save RM x and RM y in two banks which offered a simple interest rate of
6% ad 8% per annum respectively. One year later, he received a total of interests
which is not less than RM 210 from the two banks.

16. The price of a pack of chicken rice is RM 4.50 and the price of a pack of fried rice is
RM 5.00. Puan Irah needs to earn the total daily sales more than RM 105 in order to
make a minimum profit.

Let x = number of chicken rice packs; y = number of fried rice packs

 Write a linear inequality in two variables for each of the following situations.
17. Puan Yati sells nasi lemak. The selling prices of a packet of nasi lemak with egg is
RM1.50 and a packet of nasi lemak with chicken is RM 3.50. The total daily sales of
nasi lemak should be at least RM 120 in order to make a minimum profit.
Let x = number of packets of nasi lemak with egg ;
y = number of packets of nasi lemak with chicken

18. Madam Linda Lim wants to prepare fish and prawn dishes in conjunction with the
Chinese New Year celebration. The cost of a kilogram of mackerel is RM 25 and a
kilogram of prawns is RM 45. Madam Linda wants to spend RM 250 to buy fish and
prawns.
Let x = amount of mackerel ; y = amount of prawn

19. Encik Halim wants to rear chickens and ducks on a small scale to generate some
extra income for managing his growing family expenses. A chick costs RM 2 and a
duckling costs RM 1.50. Encik Halim has a capital of RM 500 to purchase the chicks
and ducklings.
Let x = number of chicks ; y = number of ducklings

20. Madam Letchumy wants to contribute RM 50 for two types of kuih in conjunction
with Canteen Day at her son’s school. The cost of a curry puff is 30 sen and a kuih
kasturi is 40 sen.
Let x = number of curry puffs ; y = number of kuih kasturi
