A toy manufacturer ships a toy in one of two different size boxes. The small box contains 6 of the toy and the large box contains 10 of the toy.

A client orders no fewer than 100 of the toy. Based on his storage and sales needs, the client requires that he receive no more than 8 of the large boxes and no fewer than 6 of the small boxes.

The cost to the client for a small box is $4 and the cost to the client for a large box is $6. The client does not wish to exceed $200 for his order of toys.

Let x represent the number of small boxes and y represent the number of large boxes.

What constraints are placed on the variables in this situation?

Answer:

Let x represent the number of small boxes.

Let y represent the number of large boxes.

The client receive no more than 8 of the large boxes and no fewer than 6 of the small boxes.

[tex]x \geq 6[/tex]

[tex]y \leq 8[/tex]

The cost of small box is $4 and the cost to the client for a large box is $6. The client does not wish to exceed $200.

[tex]4x+ 6y \leq 200[/tex]

The small box contains 6 of the toy and the large box contains 10 of the toy. A client orders no fewer than 100 of the toy.

[tex]6x+10y \geq 100[/tex]
