Please write your name, the question and any necessary solution on the back of your
graph paper

A. The owner of a shop wishes to buy ‘x’ guitars and ‘y’ violins.
To satisfy the demands of his customers, the number of violins must be less than or equal to the
number of guitars.
i. Write an inequality to represent this information [1 mark ]

The cost of one guitar is $150 and the cost of one violin is $300.
He has $4500 to spend on the purchase of these instruments.
ii. Write an inequality to represent this information [2 marks]

To get a good bargain, the owner of the shop must buy at least 5 violins.
iii. Write an inequality to represent this information [1 mark ]

B. GRAPH
i. Using a scale of 2 cm on the horizontal axis to represent 5 guitars and
2 cm on the vertical axis to represent 5 violins, draw the graphs of the
lines associated with the inequalities written in part A (i) , (ii) and (iii) [4 marks]

ii. Shade the region on your graph that satisfies all three inequalities. [1 mark ]

iii. State the coordinates of the vertices of the shaded region [2 marks]

C. The owner of the shop sells the instruments make a profit of $60 on each guitar and $100 on each
violin.
i. Express the total profit in terms of ‘x’’ and ‘y’ [1 mark ]

ii. Calculate the maximum profit [3 marks]
