Adding 110 units of the resource may or may not result in an increase of the objective function value. The allowable increase of 100 units is the maximum increase that can be made to the constraint without changing the optimal solution. Any increase beyond that may require a change in the optimal solution, and therefore the increase in the objective function value is unknown without further analysis.
