Question

For each problem, you must:
1. Define the variables
2. Write the function to be maximized or minimized.
3. Write a system of inequalities.
4. Graph and write the vertices of the feasible region.
5. Solve the problem and answer the question.

The Conway High Band is selling caramel and crunch bars to raise money for their trip to Florida in 2012. The caramel bars are packaged 20 bars per case. They pay $30 per case of caramel and make a profit of $17 per case. The crunch bars are packaged 24 bars per case and CHS pay $26 per case and makes a profit of $15 per case. They order no more than 3,000 caramel and crunch bars together and spend nor more than $4,000. How many cases of caramel and crunch bars would Mr. Cunningham need to buy to maximize their profits?

Answer 1

You get more help if you show that you've tried to work out the problem at least a little bit...

Answer 2

@zepdrix

Answer 3

:o

Answer 4

well can you do it

Answer 5

sec XD trying to figure it out

Answer 6

blah this one has me stumped soz XD

Answer 8

no :\

Answer 9

really what grade are you in

Answer 10

did you not learn this @zepdrix

Answer 11

Sorry it's been a long time :)
Having trouble getting an equation for the case of bars, with the profit mixed in.

I'm sure someone will come along to help ya soon. c:

Answer 12

can you do linear programming @sauravshakya

Answer 13

number your steps for me

Answer 14

where did you get thoses answers

Answer 15

1)(30/20)*x + (26/20)*y<=4000
2)x+y<=3000
Need to find Maximum value of (17/20)*x+(15/24)y

Answer 16

x is the number of caramel bars and y is the number of crunch bars bought.

Answer 17

Now, u need to graph it.

Answer 18

okay wait

Answer 19

I can graph it, what's the vertices

Answer 20

can u tell me from the graph

Answer 21

what equations would I type into my calculator

Answer 22

uh

Answer 23

1 and 2

Answer 24

what's #1 and 2

Answer 25

1)(30/20)*x + (26/20)*y=4000
2)x+y=3000

Answer 26

#2 is also 3,000 < = x < = 4,000

Answer 27

right

Answer 28

#1 isn't right I don't think

Answer 29

@sauravshakya I can't enter #1 in my calculator

Answer 30

Oh sorry its:
1)(30/20)*x + (26/24)*y=4000

Answer 31

okay the equation is wrong

Answer 32

I think it's x + y < = 3,000 and 3,000 < = x < = 4000

Answer 33

I think it is (30/20)*x + (26/24)*y<=4000

Answer 34

I can't enter it into my calculator though

Answer 35

it's too much for the calculator

Answer 36

I can enter 30/20x, but that's about it

Answer 37

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%2830%2F20%29*x+%2B+%2826%2F24%29*y%3C%3D4000+AND+x%2By%3C%3D3000

Answer 38

I can't enter it in, because of the y

Answer 39

haha you're wrong I needed to enter 3000 < = x < = 4000 and x + y < = 3,000

Answer 40

Why 3000<=x<=4000

Answer 41

because the 2nd equation is confusing and can't enter it in

Answer 42

@SWAGGKINGFOREVER what's your real name

Answer 43

uh

Answer 44

come up with better equations @sauravshakya

Answer 45

My first name is king and my last name james like no lie

Answer 46
