Question

Zara stores in the United States stocks a particular type of designer denim jeans in the
United States. It stores 500 pairs of jeans each month from its two suppliers. The Hong
Kong supplier charges Zara $11 per pair of jeans, and the Colombian supplier charges
$16 per pair (and then Zara marks them up almost 1,000%). Although the jeans from
Hong Kong are less expensive, they also have more defects than those from Colombia.
Based on past data, Zara estimates that 7% of the Hong Kong jeans will be defective
compared to only 2% from Colombia and Zara does not want to import any more than
5% defective items. However, Zara does not want to rely on a single supplier, so it wants
to order at least 20% from each supplier every month.

D. If the Hong Kong supplier were able to reduce its percentage of defective pairs of
jeans from 7% to %5, what would be the effect on the solution. Solve c in a separate
sheet. First copy the sheet you solved a, b and c. Then change the necessary line and
re-solve.

 
I solved for ABC. What constraint do I need to change to solve for d?
the constraints i have for d so far is 
x+y=500
x>=100
11x+16y<=700
