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

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is
Crank

Answer:

D) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by

(n - 2) \times 180

We have that, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

26 right angles. We want to find n, the number of sides.

We substitute into the formula to get:

(n - 2) \times 180 = 26 \times 90

Divide through by 90

2(n - 2) = 26

Divide through by 2

n - 2 = 13

n = 13 + 2

n = 15

At a golf ball factory, 60 golf balls were inspected and 48 of them passed inspection. Out of 2,500 golf balls made at the facto
kvv77 [185]
So, out of 60 balls, 48 passes and 12 did not that gives us a failure rate of 20%
20% of 2500 = 2000 hence 500 balls would not pass inspection,

Jackie walks into a convenience store and recognizes the number of lottery tickets she can purchase varies inversely with the pr
OLEGan [10]
Let the price of the tickets be 'x' and the number of tickets bought is 'y'

When the y inversely proportioned to x, the equation is

y = k/x where k is a constant

We work out the value of k by using the information y = 6 and x = 5

6 = k/5
k = 30

Hence, the maximum number of tickets when the price is $3 is

y = 30/3
y = 10 tickets

This table shows the area in inches of four rectangular scraps of fabric.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<h2>82 in²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of the four numbers a, b, c and d. Where a ≤ b ≤ c ≤ d:

\dfrac{b+c}{2}

We have

84in², 72in², 80in², 84in² → 72in², 80in², 84in², 84in²

The median:

\dfrac{80+84}{2}=\dfrac{164}{2}=82\ in^2
