Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem: C(x,y) = 36x + 48y

constraint: 100x^0.6y^0.4

Using langrange Multiplier,

36 = 0.6(100)x^-0.4y^0.4λ         i

48 = 0.4(100)x^0.6y^-0.6λ         ii

dividing the equations we have:

x = 2y

substituting into the constraint

p(x,y) = 100 *(2y)^0.6 y^0.4 = 100*2^0.6 *y

5000  = 151.572y

y = 329.876 labor units

x = 659.752 capital units

Minimum cost = 36(659.752) +48(329.876) = $39585.12

poizon [28]

Answer:

520

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is

boys + girls = total

Boys = 442

Girls = 15% of the total

Therefore, substituting in, gives us:

442 + .15t = t, where t is total

Then 442 = .85t and

t = 520
