- Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?arrow_forwardIf a bathtub comfortably holds 30 gallons of water and a shower produces 2 gallons of water per minute, is it economically smarter to take a bath or take a 20-minute shower? Why?arrow_forwardIf we increase our food intake, we generally gain weight. Nutrition scientists can calculate the amount of weight gain that would be associated with a given increase in calories. In one study, 16 nonobese adults, aged 25 to 36 years, were fed 1000 calories per day in excess of the calories needed to maintain a stable body weight. The subjects maintained this diet for 8 weeks, so they consumed a total of 56,000 extra calories. According to theory, 3500 extra calories will translate into a weight gain of 1 pound. Therefore, we expect each of these subjects to gain 56,000/3500 = 16 pounds (lb). Here are the weights before and after the 8-week period, expressed in kilograms (kg).

- A manufacturer of hospital supplies has a uniform annual demand for 80,000 boxes of bandages. It costs $20 to store one box of bandages for one year and $320 to set up the plant for production. How many times a year should the company produce boxes of bandages in order to minimize the total storage and setup costs? The company should produce boxes of bandages Otime(s) a year.arrow_forwardDuring a one year time period, how many gallons of water would the average household save by using an efficiency washer vs a regular washer? Is this one year savings more or less than the amount of water an average person drinks in a lifetime? Explain and show your assumptions, calculations, and conversions. Consider it to be essentially 2 separate problems: How much water is savedin a one year periodwhen using an efficiency washer vs regular washer - answer based on your assumptions and calculations for full credit How much water does an average person drink in a lifetime– arrive at this answer based on your assumptions and calculations Compare the answers to those 2 questions to arrive at your conclusion Below are 2 pieces of information that you might find helpful there are 128 oz in a gallon there are 365 days in a year and also 52 weeks in a yeararrow_forwardBecause of new federal regulations on pollution, a chemical plant introduced a new, more expensive process to supplement or replace an older process used in the production of a particular chemical. The older process emitted 40 grams of sulfur dioxide and 120 grams of particulate matter into the atmosphere for each gallon of chemical produced. The new process emits 5 grams of sulfur dioxide and 40 grams of particulate matter for each gallon produced. The company makes a profit of 80¢ per gallon and 20¢ per gallon on the old and new processes, respectively. Answer parts (A) through (C) below. (A) If the government allows the plant to emit no more than 36,000 grams of sulfur dioxide and 90,000 grams of particulate matter daily, how many gallons of the chemical should be produced by each process to maximize daily profit? Wha is the maximum daily profit? Summarize the model, Maximize Objective function subject to V 36,000 Sulfur dioxide constraint V 90,000 Particulate constraint х, у 2…arrow_forward
