Activity 1: Graphing To fill an order for Sizzling Sauce sauces, you bought 1050 green peppers and 1200 hot chili peppers. . Write and graph a system of inequalities to represent the number of pints of each kind of sauce you can make. Refer to the recipes above.

Activity 2: Analyzing Suppose you make $1.20 per pint profit on Red Hot Sauce and $1.00 per pint profit on Scorching Hot Sauce.
