Question

Boris wants to buy pineapples and watermelons. He wants to buy a total of at least 1616 fruits (condition AA) with \$60$60 at most (condition BB). The graph represents the constraints on the number of pineapples PP and watermelons WW Boris buys. Boris buys 66 pineapples. How many watermelons can he buy to meet both his constraints?

Answer 1

Answer: atleast 10 watermelons and atmost 12

Explanation:

non existent just a shorter and simpler version of the other answer

Answer 2

Answer: The number of watermelons he can buy to meet both his constraints will be greater than 10.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pineapples = 6

Total number of fruits will be atleast 10

Cost of buying both pineapples and watermelons will be atmost \$60.

Let the price of pineapples be x.

Let the price of watermelons be y.

Let the number of watermelons be 'W'.

According to question, our linear inequality will be

`6+W\geq 16\\\\W\geq 16-6\\\\W\geq 10`

and another inequality will be

`6x+10y\leq \$60`

Hence, the number of watermelons he can buy to meet both his constraints will be greater than 10.
