    Mr. Shoko, a poultry farmer, wants to sell some of his chickens and turkeys to raise money to buy feed. He must sell at least 5 chickens and between 5 and 8 turkeys, with the number of turkeys equal to or greater than the number of chickens. Chickens cost $6 each and turkeys cost $8 each. Students are asked to formulate inequalities from the problem, plot the inequalities on a graph using a suitable scale, and interpret the graph to determine the minimum income Mr. Shoko can raise. Students will be assessed on their formulation of inequalities, choice of scale, graphing skills, graph neatness, and ability to interpret the graph.
