~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


You write inequalities as you read restrictions:


(I)    40x + 20y <= 800     (1)    ("The total number of boxes of flowers must be less or equal to 800.")


(II)   50x + 40y >= 600     (2)    ("The total number of boxes of vegetables must be at least 600.")


(III)  y <= 2x              (3)    ("The number of vans must not be more than two times the number of lorries used.")

Solved.
