Chapter 12.1, Problem 10E
In Exercises 7-16, use the method of linear programming to solve the problem.
Pete's Coffees sells two blends of coffee beans: Yusip Blend and Exotic Blend. Yusip Blend is one-half Costa Rican beans and one half Ethiopian beans, and Exotic Blend is one-quarter Costa Rican beans and three-quarters Ethiopian beans. Profit on the Yusip Blend is $3.50 per pound, while profit on the Exotic Blend is $4 per pound. Each day, the shop can obtain 200 pounds of Costa Rican beans and 330 pounds of Ethiopian beans, and it uses that coffee only in the two blends. If the shop can sell all that it makes, how many pounds of Yusip Blend and of Exotic Blend should Pete's Coffees prepare each day to maximize profit? What is that maximum profit?

- In Example 3, if the accountant earns a profit of 100 on each individual return and a profit of 175 on each business return, find the maximum profit. An accountant prepares tax returns for individuals and for small businesses. On average, each individual return requires 3 hours of her time and 1 hour of computer time. Each business return requires 4 hours of her time and 2 hours of computer time. Because of other business considerations, her time is limited to 240 hours, and the computer time is limited to 100 hours. If she earns a profit of 80 on each individual return and a profit of 150 on each business return, how many returns of each type should she prepare to maximize her profit?arrow_forwardWhat is a system of linear equations in the variables x, y, and z?arrow_forwardRedo Exercise 5, assuming that the house blend contains 300 grams of Colombian beans, 50 grams of Kenyan beans, and 150 grams of French roast beans and the gourmet blend contains 100 grams of Colombian beans, 350 grams of Kenyan beans, and 50 grams of French roast beans. This time the merchant has on hand 30 kilograms of Colombian beans, 15 kilograms of Kenyan beans, and 15 kilograms of French roast beans. Suppose one bag of the house blend produces a profit of $0.50, one bag of the special blend produces a profit of $1.50, and one bag of the gourmet blend produces a profit of $2.00. How many bags of each type should the merchant prepare if he wants to use up all of the beans and maximize his profit? What is the maximum profit?arrow_forward
