A sports camp has a total of $2,880 to purchase new equipment. They need baseballs and baseball gloves. A pack of baseballs cost
s $16, and a glove costs $48. The camp needs to include at least 50 items in its order. Let x represent the number of gloves and y represent the number of packs of baseballs. Draw a graph to represent the number of packs of baseballs and baseball gloves the camp can purchase with its budget.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem to start doing linear programming, excellent.
Number of packs of baseballs to be purchased = x
Cost of a pack of baseballs, C= 16
Number of gloves to be purchased = y
Cost of a glove, G = 48
Minimum number of items = 50 [x+y >= 50]
Maximum amount to be spent = 2880 [Cx + Gy <= 2880]
Graph drawn and attached.
Shaded area (grey) represent all feasible purchases.
Maximum number of pairs of gloves = 60 (zero balls), or
maximum number of sets of balls = 180 (no gloves)
