A manufacturer produces two types of bottled coffee drinks: cappuccinos and cafés au lait. Each bottle of cappuccino requires 6

ounces of coffee and 2 ounces of milk and earns a profit of $0.40. Each bottle of café au lait requires 4 ounces of coffee and 4 ounces of milk and earns a profit of $0.50. The manufacturer has 720 ounces of coffee and 400 ounces of milk available for production each day. To meet demand, the manufacturer must produce at least 80 coffee drinks each day. Let x = the number of cappuccino bottles and y = the number of café au lait bottles.

Answer:

  • <u><em>P = 0.40x + 0.50y</em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>objective function</em> is the function that you want to optimize: usually minimize in the case of costs, and maximize in the case of revenues or profits.

In this case, you know the <em>profits</em> that a manufacturer earns from two types of <em>bottled coffe drinks</em>: <em>cappuccinos</em> and <em>cafés au lait</em>.

Each bottle of <em>cappuccino earns a profit of $0.40</em> and each bottle of <em>café au lait earns a profit of $0.50</em>.

Then:

  • using the variable x for the number bottles of cappuccino produced, the profit earned from x bottles is 0.40x, and

  • using the variable y for the number of bottles of café au lait the produced, the profit earned from y bottles is 0.5y.

The total profit earned, P, is the sum of the profits earned from each type of bottled coffee drinks:

  • P = 0.40x + 0.50y

That is the <em>objective function</em>, i.e. the function that the manufacturer must try to maximize subject to the corresponding constraints.

Elena-2011 [213]

1. \dfrac{9}{25} of students ride the bus to school. Note that

\dfrac{9}{25}=\dfrac{9\cdot 2}{25\cdot 2}=\dfrac{18}{50}.

2. \dfrac{19}{50} of students walk to school.

3. The fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is

\dfrac{18}{50}+\dfrac{19}{50}=\dfrac{18+19}{50}=\dfrac{37}{50}.

Answer: the fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is \dfrac{37}{50}.

Three-quarters of a pound of candy cost 66 cents. Find the cost of one pound<br> of candy.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$0.88 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to divide the 3/4 pounds by 3, and when you do that, you also have to divide the 66 cents by 3 as well, then multiply the 1/4 you get from dividing 3/4 by 3, and multiply it by 4 to get 1 pound, but when you do that, you have to do the same thing with the 22 cents you get from dividing 66 cents by 3, which will give you 88 cents per pound
