15. Pak Ali wants to rear x chicken and y
ducks in his farm. A chick costs RM2
and a duckling costs RM1.50. The
number of chicken and ducks reared is
based on the following constraints:
I: The total number of chicken and
ducks is at least 800.
II: The maximum allocation for the
cost of chicks and ducklings is
RM3000.
III: The number of chicken is at least
equal to the number of ducks.
(a) Write three inequalities other than
x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 which satisfy all
the above constraints.
(b) Using a scale of 2 cm to 200
chicken on the x-axis and 2 cm to
200 ducks on the y-axis, construct
and shade the region R which
satisfies all the above constraints.
(c) Use the graph construct in (b),
find
(i) the range of number of
chicken if he buys 400
ducklings.

money left if he buys 500
chicken.
