Question

A catering business offers two sizes of baked ziti. Its small ziti dish uses 1 cup of sauce

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 2y ≤ 100 and x + 3y ≤ 400

Maximum profit = 6x + 5y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of small dishes and y number of large dishes to maximize the profit.

So, total profit is P = 6x + 5y .......... (1)

Now, the small dish uses 1 cup of sauce and 1 cup of cheese and the large dish uses 2 cups of sauce and 3 cups of cheese.

So, as per given conditions,  

x + 2y ≤ 100 ........ (1) and  

x + 3y ≤ 400 .......... (2)

Therefore, those are the constraints for the problem. (Answer)
