Using linear programming, determine how many pieces of poloshirts and how many pieces of t-shirts should be sold in the market in day in order to maximize the profit. In line with your answer on the number of pieces of poloshirts and number of pieces of t-shirts to be sold in the market, compute for the profit. Select the best answer from the choices enumerated below. You may use linear equations and/or inequalities to arrive at the answers. Since you may arrive at a decimal number in terms of the number of pieces, you need to round it off to the nearest whole number since there is no decimal quantity of poloshirt and t-shirt. To compute for the profit use the whole numbers you get in terms of the quantity.

Question

A garment manufacturing has already finished
garments to iron/press in order to prepare for selling them in the market. There are
two kinds of garments, namely: poloshirt and t-shirts. Poloshirt is to be sold at
P200 per piece while t-shirt at P50 each. Ironing/pressing one piece of polotshirt
takes 30 minutes while t-shirt takes 12 minutes. The owner of the garment factory
has a total of 7 finishing workers, who each works 8 hours per day. Four (4) of
which are assigned as pressers and three (3) as packagers. For one day, the
owner would like to maximize his profit.
Using linear programming, determine how many pieces of poloshirts and how
many pieces of t-shirts should be sold in the market in day in order to maximize
the profit. In line with your answer on the number of pieces of poloshirts and
number of pieces of t-shirts to be sold in the market, compute for the profit.
Select the best answer from the choices enumerated below.

you may arrive at a decimal number in terms of the number of pieces, you need to

terms of the quantity.
