Ava is setting up a production model for her jewelry-making business. She decides to use Solver to find the optimal number of topaz and onyx pendants to produce with the given constraints. One of the most important constraints is that the minimum number to produce is 100 of each. Please answer the questions below, referencing the above figure as needed.
-To keep Solver from returning a negative number as a solution, Ava can ____.
A) enter the constraint for each pendant that the quantity produced must be greater than or equal to 100
B) enter the constraint for each pendant that the quantity produced must be less than or equal to 100
C) enter a plus sign in the Value Of box
D) none of the above

-To keep Solver from returning a negative number as a solution, Ava can ____.
A) enter the constraint for each pendant that the quantity produced must be greater than or equal to 100 
B) enter the constraint for each pendant that the quantity produced must be less than or equal to 100 
C) enter a plus sign in the Value Of box 
D) none of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By entering the constraint for each pendant that the quantity produced must be greater than or equal to 100, Solver will not suggest a solution that produces less than 100 pendants of each type. This ensures that the solution is feasible and meets the minimum production requirement.
