An arrangement for one container needs to have at least 4 flowers in it and the total wholesale cost must be less than 12 dollars At wholesale, lilies cost 2 dollars per flower and roses cost 3 dollars per flower. If x is the number of lilies and y is the number of roses, which graph represents the system of inequalities for this scenario?

At least 4 flowers means x + y ≥ 4, so the boundary is the solid line through (0, 4) and (4, 0), with the region on or above it. The cost condition is 2x + 3y < 12; its boundary is dashed because the cost must be strictly less than $12. That line passes through (0, 4) and (3, 2), and the solution region is below it. Choice A shows these boundaries and shaded regions.
