The numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit is 15 chairs and 18 tables.

Since a furniture company has 480 board ft of teak wood and can sustain up to 450 hours of labor each week, and each chair produced requires 8 ft of wood and 12 hours of labor, and each table requires 20 ft of wood and 15 hours of labor, to determine, if a chair yields a profit of $ 65 and a table yields a profit of $ 90, what are the numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit, the following calculation should be done:

  • 16 chairs; 24 tables
  • Time used = 16 x 12 + 24 x 15 = 192 + 360 = 552
  • Wood used = 16 x 8 + 24 x 20 = 128 + 480 = 608  
  • 15 chairs; 18 tables
  • Time used = 15 x 12 + 18 x 15 = 180 + 270 = 450
  • Wood used = 15 x 8 + 18 x 20 = 120 + 360 = 480  
  • 12 chairs; 28 tables
  • Time used = 12 x 12 + 28 x 15 = 144 + 420 = 564
  • Wood used = 12 x 8 + 28 x 20 = 96 + 540 = 636  
  • 18 chairs; 20 tables
  • Time used = 18 x 12 + 20 x 15 = 216 + 300 = 516
  • Wood used = 18 x 8 + 20 x 20 = 144 + 400 = 544

Therefore, the only option that meets the requirements of time and wood used is that of 15 chairs and 18 tables, whose economic benefit will be the following:

  • 15 x 65 + 18 x 90 = X
  • 975 + 1,620 = X
  • 2,595 = X

Therefore, the numbers of chairs and tables that should be produced each week in order to maximize the company's profit is 15 chairs and 18 tables.

How do I do this?? Help!
Shkiper50 [21]

Hi there!

In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).

In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :

4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16

2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32


Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").

In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :

8y = 16


Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :

8y = 16

Divide each side of the equation by 8

y = 2 → Your answer


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

<u>Given that</u> :

Diameter (d) = 18 cm

Pi (π) = 3.14

Radius (r) = d/2 = 18/2 = 9 cm

We know that volume of sphere is

Volume of Sphere = 4/3πr³

Volume = 4/3 × 3.14 × (9)³

Volume = 4/3 × 3.14 × 729

Volume = 4 × 3.14 × 243

Volume = 12.56 × 243

Volume = 3052.08

<u>Hence, the volume is 3052.08 cm³</u>
