2. The senior class is having a fundraiser to help pay for the senior trip. Selling a box of chocolates yields a profit of $2.45

, while selling a box of cookies yields a profit of $2.70. The demand for cookies is at least twice that of chocolates, but the amount of cookies produced must be no more than 550 boxes plus 3 times the number of chocolates produced. Assuming that the senior class can sell every box that they order, how many boxes of each should they order to maximize profit if they cannot order more than 1950 boxes combined?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

350 chocolate     1599 of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

c= box of chocolates

k=box of coockies

k< 550+3c , so   k-3c<550              

 k+c< 1950

 k-3c<550

I will multiply  the second by 3

k -  3c <  550

3k +3c <  5850

ADD BOTH

4k  <  6400

k  <   1600    Cookies should be less than 1600

Since cookies yield more than chocolates , to maximize profit they need to sell the maximum amount of cookies they can

1599 +350= 1949  (less than 1950)

The amount of cookies produced must be no more than 550 boxes plus 3 times the number of chocolates produced.

1599< 3(350) +550= 1050+550=1600)

1599<1600

1599 is at least double of 350 (it could be more than double)

You are considering buying a piece of industrial equipment to automate a part of your production process. This automation will s
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equipment wll save $35,000 per over for 10 years, which totals to $350,000.

If the equipment is bought on a simple interest rate of 12% annually for ten years, it will cost:

A = P (1 + rt),\\where\ A =\ Final\ amount,\ r=rate\of\interest\annually,\ t=time,\ P= Principal\ value\\\\P = 200,000r = 0.12t = 10 \\\\A = 200,000 ( 1 + 0.12\times 10)\\A = 200,000 (1 + 1.2)\\A = 200,000 (2.2)\\A = 440,000

We will need to pay $440,000 in total for the machine in over ten years.

If we compare both values, it can be deduced that industrial equipment is more expensive than labor cost.

you have 3.75 to spend at a vending machine. You want to buy at least three health bars. Regualr health bars cost 0.75 each and
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Let x be the number of regular health bars you buy and y the number of strawberry health bars you buy. Then:

0.75x+1.25y=3.75

x+y>=3

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first equation, we have to assume that you will spend all of your money, otherwise it becomes an inequation. The money you spend on regular bars is 0.75x dollars and the money you spend on strawberry bars is 1.25y, so if you spend your 3.75 dollars on the bars, then 0.75x+1.25y=3.75.

For the second, you will always buy x+y health bars, regular and strawberry. There isn't enough information to make this into a equation, the only thing we can deduce is the inequation x+y>=3.

If we also assume that x and y are integers (we can't buy half-bars or one-fourth of a bar) then the minimum number of bars we can buy is 3 (3 strawberry bars) and the maximum is 5 bars (5 regular bars). x+y must be an integer too, so the possibilities for the second equation are x+y=3, x+y=4 and x+y=5. There is a finite number of solutions in any case.
