Sarah has $8 and wants to buy a combination of cupcakes and fudge to feed at least four siblings. Each cupcake costs $2, and each piece of fudge costs $1.

This system of inequalities models the scenario:

2x + y ≤ 8
x + y ≥ 4

Part A: Describe the graph of the system of inequalities, including shading and the types of lines graphed. Provide a description of the solution set. (4 points)

Part B: Is the point (8, 10) included in the solution area for the system? Justify your answer mathematically. (3 points)

Part C: Choose a point in the solution set and interpret what it means in terms of the real-world context. (3 points)
