Answer:
BACKGROUND
Sometimes we are faced with complex decisions to make. Mathematical skills can be applied to solve such problems. For example Mr. Muzamba, a poultry farmer keeps chickens and turkeys and wants to sell some of his stock to raise money to buy some feeds. He wants to sell at least 5 chickens and not more than 8 turkeys. The number of turkeys he wishes to sell should be equal or more than the number of chickens. A chicken costs $6 and a turkey costs $ 8. Let x be the number of chickens and y be the number of turkeys. How many of each does he need to sell to get the maximum amount.
