Let width = w
Let length = l
Let area = A
3w+2l=1200
2l=1200-3w
l=1200-3/2
A=w*l
A=w*(1200-3w)/2
A=600w-(3/2)*w^2
If I set A=0 to find the roots, the maximum will be at wmax=-b/2a which is exactly 1/2 way between the roots-(3/2)*w^2+600w=0
-b=-600
2a=-3
-b/2a=-600/-3
-600/-3=200
w=200
And, since 3w+2l=1200
3*200+2l=1200
2l = 600
l = 300
The dimensions of the largest enclosure willbe when width = 200 ft and length = 300 ft
check answer:
3w+2l=1200
3*200+2*300=1200
600+600=1200
1200=1200
and A=w*l
A=200*300
A=60000 ft2
To see if this is max area change w and l slightly but still make 3w+2l=1200 true, like
w=200.1
l=299.85
A=299.85*200.1
A=59999.985
To find your new number of sales per month, you will need to find the number of sales you have per month (based on 30 days per month).
55 x 20 = 1650 sales.
Than, you will need to calculate what 10% of this is and add it to your original sales number.
0.1 (10%) x 1650 = 165
1650 + 165 = 1815
You will need approximately 1815 sales based on the 30 day month.
to do this just divide 9.56 by 4 to get $2.39
