Owner of a wholesale computers shop plans to sell 2 types of computers. A desktop and portable model. If x is the number of desktops and y is the number of portable model and the shop’s capacity cannot exceed 250 units. Which of the following is correct?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → \(x+y\le 250\)
The shop holds x desktops and y portable models, so the total number of computers is x + y.
“Cannot exceed 250” means the total may be 250 or anything less, but never more:
\( x+y\le 250 \)
The equation x + y = 250 allows only a full shop, and the other two inequalities allow totals above 250.
