Gold used to make jewerly is often a blend of gold, silver, and copper. Consider three alloys of these metals.
The first alloy is 75% gold, 5% silver, and 20% copper. The second alloy is 75% gold, 12.5% silver, and
12.5% copper. The third alloy is 37.5% gold and 62.5% silver. If 100 g of the first alloy costs $2340.80, 100 g
of the second alloy costs $2363.00, and 100 g of the third alloy costs $1350.00, how much does each metal
cost?
The Big Bang Novelty Company makes three basic types of noisemakers: Toot, Wheet, and Honk. The
respective selling prices are $0.9O, $0.75, and $1.25 per unit, respectively. Two Toots can be made
per minute, and each one has a feather attached to it. Three Wheets can be made per minute; each
one has two feathers and is sprinkled with one-half ounce of sequin powder. Four Honks can be
made in a minute; each one has 3 feathers and one ounce of sequin powder. The manufacturing costs
for Toots, Wheets, and Honks are $0.35, $0.40, and $0.50, respectively. The following resources are
available: 80 hours of labor, 90 ounces of sequin powder, and 360 feathers. The management of Big
Bang wants to produce at least three times as many Wheets as the combined total of Toots and
Honks. How many units of each type of noisemaker should they make to maximize their total profit.

- A publishing company sells 400,000 copies of a certain book each year. Ordering the entire amount printed at the beginning of the year ties up valuable storage space and capital.

- Jean Clark is the manager of the Midtown Saveway Grocery Store. She now needs to replenish her supply of strawberries. Her regular supplier can provide as many cases as she wants. However, because these strawberries already are very ripe, she will need to sell them tomorrow and then discard any that remain unsold. Jean estimates that she will be able to sell 10, 11, 12, or 13 cases tomorrow. She can purchase the strawberries for $3 per case and sell them for $8 per case. Jean now needs to decide how many cases to purchase. Jean has checked the store’s records on daily sales of strawberries. On this basis, she estimates that the prior probabilities are 0.2, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.1 for being able to sell 10, 11, 12, and 13 cases of strawberries tomorrow. 1. How many cases should she purchase according to Bayes' decision rule?

You want to buy 1100 bricks from the kiln to enclose a sheepfold to protect your flock. The kiln operator charges a shekel of copper for each 5 bricks. The trader from Anatolia wants as much wool as possible, and will give you 7 shekels of copper for each bushel. So obviously you want to sell your wool to the trader, and then buy the bricks. Write this out as an algebraic problem. Give names for all of the quantities, such as sheep, shekels, etc. But can you buy the 1100 bricks you need? How many bushels of wool extra would you have beyond what you need for the bricks, or how many are you missing? How many sheep does that represent?arrow_forward
