<u>Answer:</u>

40%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that last month, Joe's puppy weight 5.4 pounds while this month, the puppy weighed 7.56 pounds.

We are to find the percentage increase of the weight of the puppy

We know that the formula of percentage increase if given by:

<em>Percentage increase = (new value - initial value)/initial value × 100</em>

So substituting the given values to get:

Percentage increase in puppy's weight = \frac{7.56-5.4}{5.4} \times 100 = 40%

Find the optimal solution for the following problem. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Maximize C =9x + 7y

8x + 10y \leq 17

11x + 12y\leq 25

and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Plot the lines on graph

8x + 10y \leq 17

11x + 12y\leq 25

x\geq 0

y\geq 0

So, boundary points of feasible region are (0,1.7) , (2.125,0) and (0,0)

Substitute the points in  Maximize C

At  (0,1.7)

Maximize C =9(0) + 7(1.7)

Maximize C =11.9

At  (2.125,0)

Maximize C =9(2.125) + 7(0)

Maximize C =19.125

At   (0,0)

Maximize C =9(0) + 7(0)

Maximize C =0

So, Maximum value is attained at   (2.125,0)

So, the optimal value of x is 2.125

The optimal value of y is 0

The maximum value of the objective function is 19.125
