A deli is offering two specials. The roast beef special gives a profit of $2.30 per sandwich, and the turkey special gives a pro

fit of $3.10 per sandwich. The roast beef special uses two slices of bread and three slices of cheese. The turkey special uses two slices of bread and four slices of cheese. The deli has 120 slices of bread and 160 slices of cheese available for the specials. The deli wants to maximize its profit selling specials. Let x represent the number of roast beef specials and y represent the number of turkey specials. What are the constraints for the problem?

Answer:

The constraints are as follows;

1) 2·x + 2·y ≤ 120

2) 3·x + 4·y ≤ 160

3) x = 2.30

4) y = 3.10

5) P = 2.3·x + 3.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem, with the analysis as follows;

The profit from the roast beef special per sandwich = $2.30

The profit from the turkey special per sandwich = $3.10

The number of slices of bread in the roast beef special = Two slices

The number of slices of cheese in the roast beef special = Three slices

The number of slices of bread in the turkey special = Two slices

The number of slices of cheese in the turkey special = Four slices

The number of slices of bread the deli has  = 120 slices

The number of slices of cheese the deli has = 160 slices

Let 'x' and represent the number of roast beef special and 'y' represent the number of turkey special the deli makes, then we have the constraints as follows;

For the number of slices of bread used;

2·x + 2·y ≤ 120...(1)

For the number of slices of cheese used;

3·x + 4·y ≤ 160...(2)

x = 2.30

y = 3.10

The profit 'P' is given by the following equation

P = 2.3·x + 3.10.

The fabric cost 7cents per square inch. She will only pay for the fabric used to cover the box, even if there is waste or extra.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Shyla will pay about 63 cents to cover the box

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the box ( l ) = 7 inches

Width of the box (b) = 11 inches

Height of the box (h) = 8 inches

<em></em>

<em>We can solve this equation by following two simple steps.</em>

1. The first step is to find the total surface area of the box. This is the total area that the decorative fabric will be covering.

We can get this by the following formula:

SA=2( length X width) +2( length X height )+2(height X width)

SA = 2( 7 X 11 ) + 2(7 X 8) + 2 (8 X 11 ) = 442 square inches

2. The second step is to divide the total surface area by the price of the fabric per square inch.

This will be 442 square inches divided by 7 cents per square inch  = 63.14 cents

Shyla will pay about 63 cents to cover the box
