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

Anyone plz show how to work it out step by step.​

Answer:

168cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Q to P is going to be 3cm. it is identical to the length T to U.

R to T , W to Q, S to U is going to be identical to P to V. P to V has been identified as 12 cm.

in the middle of the shape, there are 4 identical triangles. the height time length will give us the area of that one shape:

e.g for shape P to V to W to Q and back to P is one rectangle. the length is 12 cm and the width is 3 cm.

12 x 3= 36

36cm^3 is one rectangles surface area, we have 4 identical triangles that means we need to times 36 by 4.

so 36x4=144.

now on the left and right side, we have two squares. on the right, we have T to U to V to W back to T this has the height of 3 width of 4 then we do 3 X 4 which is 12, we times it by 2 because we have two identical squares.

12 X 2=24

finally we add 24 and 144 = 168cm^3.

hope this helps :)
