Sara's Sensible Critters makes two kinds of catnip toys: balls (x1) and mice (x2). The relationship between demand and price for balls and mice is: x1 = 1800 - 150p1 x2 = 1500 - 300p2 The cost for a catnip ball is $2 and for the mouse, $3. Sara has only 200 ounces of catnip on hand. A ball uses a tenth of an ounce and a toy mouse uses one-quarter of an ounce. -Sara has found an unlimited source of catnip so that is no longer a constraint. However, customer demand dictates that she produce 2.5 times more catnip balls than mice. Write the new constraint.
