Question

You have decided to enter the candy business. You are considering producing two types of candies: Slugger candy and Easy Out candy, both of which consist solely of sugar, nuts, and chocolate. At present you have in stock 10,000 ounces of sugar, 3,000 ounces of nuts, and 3,000 ounces of chocolate. The mixture used to make Easy Out candy must contain at least 20% nuts. The mixture used to make Slugger candy must contain at least 10% nuts and 10% chocolate. Each ounce of East Out can be sold for $0.60 and each ounce of Slugger for $0.40.
What is the maximum revenue you can earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

$8000

Explanation:

Assume he uses sugar equally

For slugger candy must contain sugar and 20% nuts

5000*(30000*0.2)

=8000 ounces

For easy out candy  must contain sugar and 10% nuts and 10% chocolates

5000+(30000*0.1)+(30000*0.1)

=8000 ounces

Revenue= 8000*$0.6 +8000*$0.4

               $8000
