D) x + y $\le$ 2000

Question

Write a resource constraint for this situation: Producing a plastic ruler (x) requires 10 grams of plastic and producing a pencil box (y) requires 30 grams of plastic. There are 2000 grams of plastic available.
A) 200x + (2000/30)y $\le$  2000
B) 30x + 10y $\le$ 2000
C) 10x + 30y $\le$  2000
D) x + y $\le$  2000

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct equation is 10x + 30y ≤ 2000, reflecting the plastic requirements for each product and the total plastic available.
