at least 2 pots in each shipment, but there cannot be more than 8 in a shipment.
Additionally, the shipment must weigh less than 100 pounds. Each shipment container
weighs 20 pounds, and there is 1 pound of packing material. A clay flower pot weighs
15 pounds, whereas a plastic flower pot weighs 7.5 pounds.
(a) Write a system of inequalities that represents the constraints on the number of pots
that can be included in one shipment.
(b) Suppose that Horace wanted to buy 2 clay pots and 5 plastic pots. Would he be able to get all the pots in one shipment? Explain how you determined your answer.
(c) Suppose that Jaleesa wanted to buy 4 clay pots and 4 plastic pots. Would she be able to get all pots in one shipment? Explain how you determined your answer.
