Algebra 1: picturing pictures (page 317)
hassan is an artist who specializes in
geometric designs. he is getting ready
for a street fair next month.
hassan paints both pastels and watercolors.
each type of picture takes him about
the same amount of time to paint. he
thinks he has time to make a total of
at most 16 pictures.
the materials for each pastel will
cost $5. the materials for each
watercolor will cost $15. he
has $180 to spend on materials.
he makes a profit of $40 on
each pastel and a profit of $100
on each watercolor.
1. express hassan's constraints as inequalities. use p to represent the
number of pastels and w to represent the number of watercolors.
sp + 15w
180
2. make a graph that shows hassan's feasible region. the graph should
show all the combinations of pastels and watercolors that will
satisfy his constraints.
