Answer:

  • large: 18.5 kg
  • small: 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and s represent the weights of the big and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivered weights can be summarized as ...

  5b +6s = 187

  3b +2s = 87

We can eliminate the "s" variable by subtracting the first equation from 3 times the second:

  3(3b +2s) -(5b +6s) = 3(87) -(187)

  4b = 74 . . . . . collect terms

  b = 18.5 . . . . . divide by 4

Using this value in the second equation, we find ...

  3(18.5) +2s = 87

  2s = 31.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 55.5

  s = 15.75 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.75 kg.

The amphitheater has two types of tickets available, reserved seats and lawn seats. The maximum capacity of the venue is 20,000
Tema [17]

Let the number of reserved tickets = x

Let the number of lawn seats = y

Constraint functions:

Maximum capacity means x+y\leq 20000

For concert to be held x+y\geq 5000

lawn seats\leq reserved means y\leq x

Objective functions :

Maximum profit equation p = 65x +40y

Intersection points :

(10000,10000) (20000,0)(2500,2500)(5000,0)

p at (10000,10000) = 65(10000) + 40(10000) = $1050000

p at (20000,0) = 65(20000) + 40(0) = $1300000

p at (2500,2500) = 65(2500) + 40(2500) = $262500

p at (5000,0) = 65(5000) + 40(0) =  $325000

Hence maximum profit occurs when all 20000 reserved seats are sold and the profit is $1300000

Please find attached the graph of it.
