3) A shop sells two types of chocolates, A and B. The shop sells x packets of chocolate A
and y packets of chocolate B in one day. The number of packets of chocolate A sold is at
least 12. The number of packets of chocolate B sold is at least two-thirds of chocolate A.
The total number of packets of chocolates sold is at most 75.
(a) Write three inequalities, other than x 0 and y 0, which satisfy the above
constraints.

(ii)
(iii)

(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to 10 units on both axes, construct and shade the region which
satisfy all the above constraints.
