A candy manufacturer makes two types of special candy, say A and B. Candy A consists of equal parts of dark chocolate and carame

l and Candy B consists of two parts of dark chocolate and one part of walnut. The company has in stock 430 kilograms of caramel, 360 kilograms of dark chocolate, and 210 kilograms of walnuts. The company sells Candy A for P285 and Candy B for P260 per kilograms. How much of each candy should the manufacturer produce to maximize profit?

If we let x as candy A
y as candy B
a as dark chocolate in candy a
b as dark chocolate in candy b
c as caramel
d as walnut
P as profit
we have the equations:
a + c = x
2b + d = y
a + 2b ≤ 360
c ≤ 430
d ≤ 210
P = 285x + 260y

This is an optimization problem which involves linear programming. It can be solved by graphical method or by algebraic solution.
P = 285(a + c) + 260(2b +d)
If we assume a = b
Then a = 120, 2b = 240
P = 285(120 + 120) + 260(240 + 120)
P = 162000
candy A should be = 240
candy B should be = 360

SashulF [63]

Answer: $680.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal= 8500

Rate= 4%

Time= 2 years

Interest= (Principal×Rate×Time)/100

= (8500×4×2)/100

= 68000/100

= $680

The interest is $680

A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

P(working product) = .99*.99*.96*.96 = .0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

For the product to work, all four probabilities must come to pass, so that

P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

where

P(Part-1) = 0.96

P(Part-2) = 0.96

P(Part-3) = 0.99

P(Part-4) = 0.99

As all parts are independent, so the formula is P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B)

P (Working Product) =  P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

P (Working Product) = 0.96*0.96*0.96*0.99*0.99

P(Working Product) = 0.903

Twenty-four 4-inch wide square posts are evenly spaced with 5 feet between adjacent posts to enclose a square field, as shown. W
Nata [24]

Answer:

492 0/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the perimeter is 4 times the length of the side, now we know that this side "l" is given by:

l = 4 in * 24 + 23 * 5 ft

l = 96 in + 115 ft

Now, we pass the inches to pes, knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches, so

96 in * 1 ft / 12 in = 8 ft

therefore replacing it remains:

l = 8 ft + 115 ft

l = 123 ft

now the perimeter:

p = 123 * 4

p = 492

to change to a mixed number:

4920/10 = 492 0/10
