Problem
 

 19. 

For every quilt that is sold at a fundraising banquet, $90 goes to charity. For every ticket that is sold, $65 goes to charity. The organizers’ goal is to raise at least $7000. The organizers need to know how many quilts and tickets must be sold to meet their goal.
a) Define the variables and write a linear inequality to represent the situation.
b) Graph the linear inequality to help you determine whether each of the following points is in the solution set. The first coordinate is the number of quilts and the second is the number of tickets.

 21. 

A refinery produces oil and gas.
• At least 3.5 L of gasoline are produced for each litre of heating oil.
• The refinery can produce up to 10 million litres of heating oil and 8 million litres of gasoline each day.
• Gasoline is projected to sell for $1.15 per litre. Heating oil is projected to sell for $1.85 per litre.
