t2 Answer the whole of this question on a sheet of graph paper.

Menda intends to run a business of selling mineral water. He needs to order at least 10
small bottles and at most 60 large bottles of water. He decides to order at most 80 bottles of
water altogether and the number of large bottles he orders should be at least twice that of
small bottles.

(a) Given that x is the number of small bottles and y is the number of large bottles,
write four inequalities which represent these conditions. 141

(a) Using a scale of 2cm to represent 10 bottles on each axis, drarv the x and y axes
for 0 < x < 80 and 0 <y < 80 respectively and shade the unrn'anted region
to show clearly the region where the solution of the inequalities lie. t4l
