4 Practice: Modeling: Two-Variable Systems


of Inequalities Practice
Algebra II Sem 1 Name:
Date:

In this assignment, you may work alone, with a partner, or in a small group. Discuss
the results of your work and/or any lingering questions with your teacher.

Your Assignment: Parks and Recreation Workshop Planning

You are helping with the planning of workshops offered by your city's Parks and
Recreation department. The director of programs has asked you to purchase snacks
for one of the two workshops currently scheduled. Circle the workshop you picked:
Baseball Clinic
What do you know? Director of programs asked to purchase snacks for one of the
two workshops currently scheduled. There are two workshops in total.

What do you want to find out? How many combination of fruit and granola bars can I
buy and organize

What kind of answers do you expect?

I expect I will have to be less fruit than granola bars

Create the Systems of Inequalities

1. Define the variables you will use in your model. (2 points)

Answer:

TC = total cost

Tf = total cost of the fruit

Tg = total cost of the granola bars

Budget = $48.

f = fruit

f = fruit costs = $4 per pound


g = granola bars

g = granola bars = $1 each

I need at least 10 granola bars.

2. Write an inequality representing the total cost of your purchase. (3 points)

a. Each pound of fruit costs $4. Write an expression that shows the total cost of
the fruit. Use the variable you identified in question 1.

Answer: 4f

b. Each granola bar costs $1. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the
granola bars. Use the variable you identified in question 1.

Answer: 1g or g

c. Combine the expressions from parts a and b to write an expression for the
total cost. Then use this expression to write an inequality that compares the total
cost with the amount you have to spend.

Answer: 4f + g

4x+y 48 , bc total cost must be less than or equal to the budget $48

3. Write the inequality that models the number of granola bars you need to buy. (1
point)

Answer: g > 10

4. Describe in words what each of your inequalities means. (2 points)


Answer:

Inequality 1: 4f + g < 48 means...The total cost of the fruit at $4 per pound and
granola bars at $1 each must be less than or equal to $48

Inequality 2: g > 10 means… we need 10 or more granola bars

graph the System of Inequalities

5. graph your system of inequalities. Shade the half plane that represents the
solution for each inequality, and then identify the area that represents the solution to
the system of inequalities. (5 points: 1 point for each boundary line, 1 point for each
correctly shaded half plane, 1 point for identifying the solution)

Interpreting the graph

6. Identify one point on the graph that represents a viable solution to the problem,
and then identify one point that does not represent a viable solution. Identify the
number of granola bars and pounds of fruit represented by each point, and explain
why the point is or is not viable. (4 points: 1 for each point and 1 for each
explanation)

Answer:
Viable Solution: (2,20) says 2 pounds of fruit and 30 granola bars are purchased.
This is a reasonable solution because it satisfies both inequalities, meaning it's
within the budget and meets the requirement of having at least 10 granola bars.

Nonviable Solution: (-2,30) means that -2 pounds of fruit and 30 granola bars are
purchased. This is not possible to buy negative pounds of fruit.
