Case Study

Corporate Wellness Marathon Budgeting

Based on the wellness scenario described, recall the algebraic models and decisions from this lesson to answer the following questions:

  1. State the linear inequality that represents the runner's daily calorie constraint.
  2. State the linear inequality that represents the daily budget constraint.
  3. Identify the two non-negativity constraints required for this model and explain why they must be included when representing physical items.
  4. State whether the specific plan of 8 energy bars and 4 recovery shakes is a valid solution, and recall the exact daily calorie intake and total cost associated with this choice to verify your answer.
