The max or min amounts lead to constraints on how many mugs and bowls can be made. We write these constraints as inequalities. Write an inequality using the fact that only 15 boxes are available for shipping.

Now look back to question 3. The objective for this problem was to maximize revenue and you wrote an expression for what we wanted to maximize. Set this expression equal to R and we will call this our objective function. (Note: R was selected because revenue starts with R)Write your objective function: R =
