Your computer supply store sells two types of laser printers. The first type, A, has a cost of $86 and you mame a $45 profit on

each one. The second type, B, has a cost of $130 and you make a $35 profit on each one. You expect to sell at least 100 laser printers this month and you need to make at least $3850 profit on them. How many of what type of printer should you order if you want to minimize your cost?

Answer:

100 printers of Type A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of printers of type A

Let y be the no. of printers of type B

You expect to sell at least 100 laser printers this month

Equation becomes : x+y\geq100   ---1

Cost of 1 printer of Type A = $86

Cost of x printer of Type A = $86x

Cost of 1 printer of type B  =$135

Cost of y printer of type B  =$135 y

Minimize cost function: 86x+130y

Now Profit on 1 Type A printer = $45

Profit on x Type A printer = $45x

Profit on 1 Type B printer = $35

Profit on y Type B printer = $35y

We are given that you need to make at least $3850 profit on them.

So, equation becomes : 45x+35\geq 3850 ---2

Conditions : x\geq 0 ---3 and y\geq 0 ---4

Now plotting the lines 1,2,3,4 on the graph

Refer the attached figure

Feasible points are (100,0);(0,100)and(35,65)

Now check which feasible point provides minimum cost.

86x+130y

At point (100,0)

86(100)+130(0)

8600

So, At point (100,0) total cost is $8600.

At point (0,100)

86(0)+130(100)

13000

So, At point (0,100) total cost is $13000

At point (35,65)

86(35)+130(65)

11460

So, At point (35,65) total cost is $11460

So, at (100,0) we are getting the minimum cost i.e. $8600.

So, we need to order 100 printers of type A and 0 printers of type B to  minimize the cost.

Shen’s mother gave him $10 to go buy groceries. He picked up a gallon of milk for $3.49, three pounds of oranges that cost $1.14
svet-max [94.6K]
Gallon of milk: $3.49
3lbs oranges: $1.14(3) = $3.42
Box of cereal: $3.46

Front end estimation is taking the number in front and the rest of the numbers coming after it will be zeroes.

Using front end estimation:
$3.49 => $3.00
$3.42 => $3.00
$3.46 => $3.00

Add all these up; Shen estimated the total cost of the groceries would be $9.00.

Leon has already run 1 mile on his own, and he expects to run 3 miles during each track practice. Write an equation that shows t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

d = 1 + 3p  

Step-by-step explanation:

Leon already ran 1 miles on his own and he is expected to cover a distance d of 3 miles during each practice. The number of practices is expressed as p and the distance covered is expressed as d.

For every track practice he is expected to cover a distance of 3 miles. Recall he has already cover 1 mile on his own.

Therefore, the relationship between the practices p and the distance d can be expressed as follows.

number of track practice = p

distance covered = d

The distance covered  d in miles is 1 miles plus the number of track practice p multiply by 3

d = 1 + 3p
