Question

Stella’s farm consists of 240 acres upon which she wishes to plant pumpkins and squash.

Answer 1

The profit is maximized whenn 80 acres of pumpkin and 160 acres of squash is cultivated to make $80000.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of pumpkin acre and y represent the number of squash acre, hence:

x + y ≤ 240  (1)

Also:

20x + 10y ≤ 3200 (2)

The solution is at x = 80, y = 160

Maximum profit = 400x + 300y = 400(80) + 300(160) = $80000

The profit is maximized whenn 80 acres of pumpkin and 160 acres of squash is cultivated to make $80000.
