Problema Solution

a seafood restaurant owner orders perch and salmon. He wants to buy at least 50 pounds of fish but cannot spend more than $180. Write and graph a system of inequalities to show the possible combinations of perch and salmon he can buy. (perch is $4/ib and salmon is $3/ib)

Answer provided by our tutors

Let

x = pounds of perch

y = pounds of salmon

The system of inequalities is:
