Johnson's Produce is purchasing fertilizer with two nutrients: Nitrogen and Phosphorus. They need at least
90 pounds of phosphorus, and state law says they can buy no more than 180 pounds of nitrogen in a single
order. Their supplier has two brands of fertilizer available. Brand X has four pounds of nitrogen and one
pound of phosphorus per bag. Brand Y has one pound of each nutrient.
a) Write a system of inequalities that models the situation above.
b) If Johnson’s Produce got 15 bags of Brand X, between how many bags of Brand Y could they legally
purchase and still meet their minimum phosphorus need?
Number of bags of Brand Y
c) Graph the system on the axes below.
Number of bags of Brand X
d) What is the largest number of bags of Brand X Johnson’s Produce could buy to meet their need and still
abide by the law?
