Answer:

<em>50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of Chef's salad is x and the number of Caesar salad is y

On a typical weekday, it sells between 40 and 60 Chefs salads and between 35 and 50 Caesar salads.

So, the two constraints are:  40\leq x\leq 60 and  35\leq y\leq 50

The total number sold has never exceed 100 salads. So, another constraint will be:   x+y\leq 100

According to the graph of the constraints, the vertices of the common shaded region are:  (40,35), (60,35), (60,40), (50,50) and (40,50)   <em>(Refer to the attached image for the graph)</em>

The lunch stand makes a $.75 profit on each Chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each Caesar salad. So, the profit function will be:  P=0.75x+1.20y

For  (40, 35) ,   P=0.75(40)+1.20(35)=72

For  (60, 35) ,   P=0.75(60)+1.20(35)=87

For  (60, 40) ,   P=0.75(60)+1.20(40)=93

For  (50, 50) ,   P=0.75(50)+1.20(50)=97.5 <u><em>(Maximum)</em></u>

For  (40, 50) ,   P=0.75(40)+1.20(50)=90

Profit will be maximum when x=50 and y=50

Thus, 50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.

Assuming you want the expression to be simplified. 

We begin with the following: 

5^{2} * 3^{-1} * \frac{5^-3}{3^{4}} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3}

Simplify the first part, 5^{2}. That is 25. Now we have this: 

25*3^{-1.5} * \frac{-3}{3^{4}} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3} 

Next, simplify 3^{-1}, which is 1/3, and get this: 

25* 1/3 * \frac{-3}{3^{4}} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3} 

The next part is \frac{5^-3}{3^{4}}. Simplify the denominator, 3^{4}, which is 81. Simplify the numerator, which is 1/125. Then divide 1/125 by 81, which we will keep as a fraction for simplicity's sake, but simplify it to \frac{1}{10125}. Now we have: 

25* 1/3 * \frac{1}{10125} * 5^{-1} * 3^{-3}

Now simplify 5^{-1}, which is 0.2, or 1/5. Now we have: 

25* 1/3 * \frac{1}{10125} * 0.2 * 3^{-3} 

Finally, simplify 3^{-3}. That is 1/27. We have: 

25* 1/3 * \frac{1}{10125} * 0.2 * 1/27

Lastly, multiply them all together! Now we are done, with the product of: 

\frac{1}{6075}

That certainly did take a while to type in all the LaTex, so I really hope that helped!

Note- if anything isn't working with the LaTex, just tell me and I'll fix it! (:

A furniture store is having a sale on sofas and you're going to buy one. The advertisers know that buyers get to the store and t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$290

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that 1 out of 5 buyers change to a more expensive sofa than the one in the sale advertisement.

Now we are told that the advertised sofa is $250 and the more expensive sofa is $450.

Thus;

P(x) for expensive sofa = 1/5

P(x) for sofa in sale advertisement = 4/5

Thus, expected value is;

E(X) = (1/5)450 + (4/5)250

E(x) = 90 + 200

E(x) = $290
