Question 309075: Mark and Nancy are making punch for a party and are using two types of juice: pineapple and papaya. The total number of quarts must be more than 9 but less than 15. They should use at least 4 quarts of each type. We want to find out how many quarts of each juice they should buy.
First graph the system below and describe the shape of the solution area.
x+y>9
x+y<15
x>4
y>4
Then list 3 ordered pair solutions for the system of equations which represent this problem.

Then pick one of those ordered pair solutions for this problem and tell what each number represents.

Now choose the any of the ordered pair within the trapezoid.
One would be x=6, y=6
6 quarts of pineapple, 6 quarts of papaya
