A cake manufacturer boxes Swiss chocolate and German chocolate cakes at one site. A box of Swiss chocolate cake contains 0.55 lb

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

2,500 German chocolate cake boxes.

1,500 Swiss chocolate cake boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'S' be the number of Swiss chocolate cakes boxed and 'G' the number of German cholocate cakes boxed. If all of the available ingredients are used:

$0.55*S +0.59*G = 2,300\\0.45*S+0.41*G = 1,700$

Solving the linear system above:

$(0.55 *S +0.59*G)- \frac{0.55}{0.45} (0.45*S+0.41*G)= 2,300-\frac{0.55}{0.45}*1,700*\\0.088888*G = 222.222\\G=2,500\\S =\frac{2,300-2,500*0.59}{0.55}\\S=1500$
