The optimum number of cauliflower and butternut to maximize profit is : 6 Butternuts and 4 Cauliflowers

<u></u>

<u>Using the Given data : </u>

cost of producing 1 butternut = R4

selling price of 1 butternut = R7

profit from selling 1 butternut = R7 - R4 = R3

Assume: butternut sold in a week = x ,  Cauliflower sold in a week = y

Unit Cost of producing Cauliflower = R6

<u>From the table on the amount of Cauliflower the shop owner is prepared to buy and at various unit prices </u>

i) when the owner buys 4 Cauliflower

  unit profit = R11 - R6 = R5

ii) When shop owner buys 5 Cauliflower

   unit profit = R10.5 - R6 = R4.5

iii) when shop owner buys 10 Cauliflower

   unit profit = R8 - R6 = R2

<em />

<em>Since Jacob can only grow and sell 10 vegetables in a week </em>

The various combination of vegetables that he can grow and sell are as follows.

 x + y = 10       where ; profit on x = R3 , profit on y = R5,  R4.5, R2

i) 0 + 10 = 10     ------------- ( 1 )

  0 + 10(R2) =  R20

ii) 6 + 4 = 10    ---------------- ( 2 )

   6( R3 ) + 4(R5) = R38  ( maximum profit )

iii) 10 + 0 = 10  ------------ ( 3 )

   10(R3) + 0 =  R30

iv) 5 + 5 = 10   -------------- ( 4 )

  5( R3 ) + 5 ( R4.5 ) = R37.5

Hence from the combinations of Cauliflower and butternut the optimum number that would yield the highest profit for Jacob is ; 6 Butternut and 4 Cauliflower )

What is the area of georgina rounded to the nearest mile 59,424.77
AleksAgata [21]
<h2>Answer:  </h2>

59,425 sq mi  

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:  </h2>

When you want to round to the units place, you look at the digit in the number that is in the place to the right of that: the tenths place. Here, that digit is 7, which is more than 4. Because that digit is more than 4, 1 is added to the units place and all the digits to the right of that are dropped.  

This gives you 59,424 +1 = 59,425.    

If the tenths digit were 4 or less, no change would be made to values in the units place or to the left of that. The tenths digit and digits to the right would be dropped.  

... 59,424.3 ⇒ 59,424 . . . . . for example
