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.

cupoosta [38]
6/11 is the simplest form of the fraction. 
First you divide the top and bottom by two 84/2 and 144/2 
Next you get 42/77
Finally you see that both are factorable by 7 so you divde 42 and 77 by 7 to get 7/11
