FAN AND MEDAL TO WHOEVER ANSWERS THIS!



Efficient Homemakers Ltd. makes canvas wallets and leather wallets as part of a money making project. For the canvas wallets, they need three yards of canvas and two yards of leather. For the leather wallets, they need three yards of leather and two yards of canvas. Their production unit has purchased 36 yards of leather and 40 yards of canvas. Let x be the number of leather wallets and y be the number of canvas wallets.

Write a system of inequalities to represent the number of the leather and canvas wallets that can be produced.

Answer 1

Answer 2

The basis for all of this is the number of each product made.
We now have to work with the constraints:
x >= 0
y >= 0
leather used:
l = 4x + 2y
l <= 44
canvas used: c = 3x + 2y
c <= 40

Now you graph all of this on an x-y graph.
Shade the region of all possible solutions; the lower-left corner is the origin.
Now, evaluate the profit function at each of these corner points:
p = 40x + 25y

Which corner has the highest value of p?
