-What is the sugar constraint?
A)6B + 3C $\le$ 4,800.
B)1B + 1C $\le$ 4,800.
C)c.2B + 4C $\le$ 4,800.
D)4B + 2C $\le$ 4,800.
E)2B + 3C $\le$ 4,800.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sugar constraint can be written as follows:
2 tablespoons of sugar per bagel (6B) + 4 tablespoons of sugar per croissant (3C) ≤ 4,800.
Simplifying this inequality, we get:
12B + 12C ≤ 4,800
Dividing both sides by 12, we get:
B + C ≤ 400
Therefore, the correct choice is C, which represents the constraint 2B + 4C ≤ 4,800.
