lb of dough. It take bakers 6 minutes to make a half-dozen of waffles and 3 minutes to make a half-dozen of muffins. Their profit will be $1.50 on each pack of waffles and $2.00 on each pack of muffins. How many of each should they make to maximize profit, if they have just 20 hours to do everything?

Answer:

250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1

If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function

P = 2a + 1.5b

subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.

Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.

You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.

A plumber charges $130 2 hours of work and $235 for 5 hours of workWhat is the of change in dollars per hour
kogti [31]

Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure the rates per hr.

110/3 = 36 2/3

160/5 = 32.

So, the rates are not the same.

Knowing a bit about plumbers, they normally charge a basic fee to just show up, and then they charge per hr.

In cases like these, where we're asked to project to a new data point (in this case an 8-hr job), you should immediately think of a graph. The x-axis would be the hours worked. The y-axis would be the charge for the work (the cost of the job).

We're given two pairs of values:

(3,110) and (5,160).

The next step is to fit a line to them.

y = mx+b is the general equation for a line.

m = the slope = rise/run = change in y / change in x

Call the change in y, dy (for delta y).

Call the change in x, dx (for delta x).

m = dy/dx = 50/2 = 25

The slope is thus 25, which means for each hour, the price goes up by $25. That means the plumber charges $25/hr.

We also know the plumber charges $110 for a 3-hr job. 3*25 = $75. So the base charge would be $110-75 = $35.

y = 25x + 35

Checking this formula at x=3, we know it is 110.

Checking it at x=5, we obtain:

y = 25*5 + 35 = 125 + 35 = 160.

That checks.

Now to figure an 8-hr job, set x=8 and use the equation"

y = 25*8 + 35.

y = 200 + 35.

y = 235.

That means an 8-hr job costs $235.
