Answer:

Runner Up Amount=$16,000

Winner Amount=$64,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the college's scholarship=$80,000

The fund is being divided between the top two contestants so that the winner receives four times as much as the runner-up.

Therefore: we can say it is being divided into 5 parts where the winner gets 4 parts and the runner up gets 1 part, i.e in the ratio 4:1.

Runner Up Amount=\dfrac{1}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$16000

Winner Amount=\dfrac{4}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$64000

The winner gets $64,000 and the runner up gets $16,000.

A furniture company manufactures desks and chairs. Each desk uses four units of wood, and each chair uses three units of wood. A
Troyanec [42]

Step-by-step explanation:

Although I cannot find any model or solver, we can proceed to model the optimization problem from the information given.

the problem is to maximize profit.

let desk be x

and chairs be y

400x+250y=P (maximize)

4x+3y<2000   (constraints)

according to restrictions y=2x

let us substitute y=2x in the constraints we have

4x+3(2x)<2000

4x+6x<2000

10x<2000

x<200

so with restriction, if the desk is 200 then chairs should be at least 2 times the desk

y=2x

y=200*2

y=400

we now have to substitute x=200 and y=400 in the expression for profit maximization we have

400x+250y=P (maximize)

80000+100000=P

180000=P

P=$180,000

the profit is $180,000
