Step-by-step explanation:

this is a linear programming problem.

the objective is to maximize profit

let the chocolate be x

and cookies be y

Maximize

2.5x+2y=P

constraint milk

3x+y=9------------------1

constraint flour

2x+4y=16----------------2

solving 1 and 2

3x+y=9

2x+4y=16

multiply 1 by 2 and 2  3 to eliminate x we have

  6x+2y=18

 6x+12y=48

-0-10x=-30

10y=30

y=30/10

y=3

put y= 3 in eqn 1 we have

3x+3=9

3x=9-3

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2

two trays of chocolate

three trays of cookies

2.5x+2y=P

2.5(2)+2(3)=P

5+6=P

P=$11

with Judy jogging north and Jackie jogging west (on straight roads). When Jackie is 1 mile farther fro m the intersection than J
miskamm [114]
Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.

We convert the given information to equations, step by step.

Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.

This means y is 1 mile more than x.

So,

y = 1 + x

Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection. 

Distance between is x+ y.

So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.

x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2

From point 1 we have:

y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3

So,

Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.
