    SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS
    LEVEL : FORM 4
    SYLLABUS TOPIC: ALGEBRA – INEQUALITIES (Page 60)
    SUBTOPIC: LINEAR PROGRAMMING
    CALA TYPE: PEN & PAPER
    CALA TITLE: CALCULATING THE OPTIMAL QUANTITIES IN
    PROFIT MAXIMISATION

    COMPETENCES/ SKILLS

     calculating
     drawing
     critical thinking
     interpreting skills
     problem solving
     decision making

    BACKGROUND
    Business people often experience challenging situations that call for quick informed decisions for the good
    of their enterprises. Mathematical skills can be applied to address such dilemmas. Mr Gatsi, a poultry farmer
    keeps chickens and turkeys at his poultry concern in Chesa, Mt Darwin and wants to sell some of his stock to
    raise money to buy more feeds. He intends to sell at least 5 chickens and not more than 8 turkeys. The
    number of turkeys he wants to sell should be greater than or equal to the number of chickens. A chicken
    costs $6 and a turkey costs $8. How many of each does he need to sell to realise the maximum amount of
    money he needs to buy more stock feeds?

    THE CALA
    This CALA comprises two parts, Part A and Part B and you are required to attend to both parts.
    Part A
     formulate the required inequalities
     Draw the inequality graphs using suitable scale on both axes
    Part B
     Interpret the inequality graphs to find the optimal quantities of chickens and turkeys to be sold
     Use of graphs to make informed decisions to advise Mr Gatsi accordingly.
    CALA TIP
    You may let x be the number of chickens and y be the number of turkeys to be sold.
    LEARNER CALA GUIDE
    Activities
