Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constraint equation for the materials (vinyl) available is based on the total square feet used by both products, which should not exceed the available 75 square meters (or 750 square feet, since 1 square meter = 10.764 square feet). Therefore, the equation is 16A + 12B ≤ 75.
