I choose “Lolly Pops!” as my project title.  My problem is:  Jane is making lollypops to raise money for her students.  She needs at most $20 to split it evenly and fairly between her students.  She will make chocolate and vanilla lollypops.  Chocolate lollypops are $2.50 and vanillas are $5.  It cost her $3 to make chocolate and $2 to make vanilla.  She can’t spend up to $12.  Next, I write my constraints, which is: 
1.      X is greater than or equal to 0
2.      Y is greater than or equal to 0
3.      2.5x+5y is less than or equal to 20
4.      3x+2y is less than or equal to 12
After I write out my constraints, I graph each of them separately.  Then, I combine all the graphs into one graph and there is my feasible region.  Lastly, I would find the vertices of quadrilateral that is created by the feasible regions, which is : (0,0), (4,0), (2,3), and(0,4).
