For part (a) it is required to assign x and y and write the objective function. Let x be the number of gift Basket A purchased and y be the number of gift Basket B purchased. The objective function of the given information is: objective function: maxmize z=12x+15y

For part (b) it is required to write the constraints inequality. Constraints are: 3x+6y45x+2y166x+3y362x+y122x+2y18x+y9

For part (c) It is required to find the intercepts of each inequalities. x+2y16x16+2y161x6+y121 intercept of the above inequality is (16,0) and (0,8) 2x+y122x12+y121x6+y121x16+2y161x6+y121 intercept of the above inequality is (6,0) and (0,12) x+y<=9x/9+y/9<=1 intercept of the above inequality is (9,0) and (0,9)
