11 AAF Inequalities Review

Mathematician:

Chicago Collectables sells Cubs jerseys and Sox jerseys. Due to size restrictions in the shop, no more than 400 jerseys can be on the shelf at the same time. The storeowner is a biased Cubs fan. Consequently, at any given time, the number of Sox jerseys is at most half the number of Cubs jerseys. To be fair, the store would like to keep at least 50 Sox jerseys on the shelf. Let x be the number of Cubs jerseys and y be the number Sox jerseys. 1) Write a system of inequalities to depict the problem. Inequalities:
