8. Eli plans to exhibit frozen yoghurt at a trade fair.
He will take two types of frozen yoghurt, Banana Blast and Strawberry Scream.

Let x be the number of litres of Banana Blast, and y be the number of litres of Strawberry Scream.

(a) (i) He will take a total of at least 20 litres of yoghurt.

Write down an inequality to represent this condition.

Answer: …………………………………………… [1]

(ii) He wants at least 25% of the yoghurt to be Banana Blast.

Write down an inequality to represent this condition in simplest form.

Answer: …………………………………………… [2]

(iii) He also wants that there will be at most half as much Banana Blast as Strawberry Scream.
Write down an inequality to represent this condition in simplest form.

Answer: …………………………………………… [2]
