Use Inequalities to Describe Limitations in a Situation
-A dietitian needs to purchase food for patients. She can purchase an ounce of chicken for $\$ 0.25$ and an ounce of potatoes for $\$ 0.02$ . The dietician is bound by the following constraints.
- Each ounce of chicken contains 13 grams of protein and 24 grams of carbohydrates.
- Each ounce of potatoes contains 5 grams of protein and 35 grams of carbohydrates.
- The minimum daily requirements for the patients under the dietitian's care are 45 grams of protein and 58 grams of carbohydrates.
Let $x =$ the number of ounces of chicken and $y =$ the number of ounces of potatoes purchased per patient. Write a system of inequalities that describes these constraints.

• A)
• \(13 x + 5 y \geq 45\)
• \(24 x + 35 y \geq 58\)
• B)
• \(13 x + 24 y \geq 45\)
• \(5 x+35 y \geq 58\)
• C)
• \(\begin{array}{l}
• 13 x+5 y \geq 58 \\
• 24 x+35 y \geq 45
• \end{array}\)
• D)
• \(\begin{array}{r}
• 13 x+24 x \geq 45 \\
• 5 y+35 y \geq 58
• \end{array}\)
