A box of Classic crackers requires 3 ounces of sugar, 8 ounces of flour, and 2 ounces of salt to produce. Profits are 40 cents for a box of Deluxe crackers and 50 cents for a box of Classic crackers.
-What is the sugar constraint?
A)2D + 3C ≤ 4,800
B)6D + 8C ≤ 4,800

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sugar constraint is 2D + 3C ≤ 4,800 because this inequality represents the total amount of sugar used to produce D and C crackers, which cannot exceed the available 4,800 ounces of sugar.
