1. A farmer has 80 hectares of his farm available for planting maize and cabbages.

He must grow at
least 10 hectares of maize and 20 hectares of cabbages to meet demands. He prefers to plant
more cabbages than maize but his work force and equipment will only allow him to cultivate a
maximum of three times the quantity of cabbages to that of maize
1.1 Represent the information above as a system of inequalitie
1.2 Sketch a graph of these inequalities
1.3 If the profit on maize is R800 per ha and on cabbages R500 per ha, how should the farmer
plant the two crops to make a maximum profit and what is this profit
2. A factory makes two types of beds, type A and type B. Each month x of type A and y of type B
are produced. The following constraints control monthly production: (i) Not more than 50 beds
of type A and 40 beds of type B can be made. (ii) To show a profit at least 60 beds in all must be
made. (iii) The maximum number of beds that can be produced is 80. If the profit on type A is
$300 and type B is $150, how many of each type of beds must be produced to maximize the
profit and what is the maximum profit
3. José and César are tailors. They make x jackets and y suites each week. José does all the cutting,
and César does all the sewing. To make a jacket takes 5 hours of cutting and 4 hours of sewing.
To make a suit takes 6 hours of cutting and 10 hours of sewing. Neither tailor works for more
than 60 hours a week
a. For the sewing, show that 2 x + 5 y + ≤ 30
b. Write down another inequality in x and y for the cutting
c. They make at least 8 jackets each week. Write down another inequality
d. i. Draw axes from 0 to 16, using 1 cm to represent 1 unit on each axes
ii. On your grid, show the information in parts a, b and c. Shade the unwanted regions
e. The profit on a jacket is $30 and on a suit is $100. Calculate the maximum profit that José and
César can make in a week
4. A school is preparing a trip for 400 students. The company who is providing the transportation
has 10 buses of 50 seats each and 8 buses of 40 seats, but only has 9 drivers available. The
rental cost for a large bus is $800 and $600 for the small bus. Calculate how many buses of each
type should be used for the trip for the least possible cost
