A carpenter makes two types of furniture, table and chair. In a
week, he makes x tables and y chairs. He has a capital of
RM6000. The production of furniture is based on the following
constraints.
I The cost of making a table is RM80 and a chair is RM60
II The minimum total number of tables and chairs must be
50.
III The number of chairs must be at least 80% of the number
of tables.

all the above constraints [3]
