(a)
To find: the number of each type of package that should be placed on a train car to maximize revenue.
(a)
Answer to Problem 27PPS
The maximum package is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Car on a freight can hold
Freight service handle two types of packages which weighs
And a large which are
Concept used:
Graphing the inequalities, it will graph the ordinary linear functions just like it is done before. The difference is that a solution to the inequality is not the drawn line but coordinate plane that satisfy the inequality.
The boundary line is dashed for
Calculation:
Suppose
Then, the optimizing is written as follows.
The constraints are:
The graph is shown below.
The vertices of the feasible region are
The table is created as shown below:

The maximum package is
(b)
To find: the maximum revenue per train car.
(b)
Answer to Problem 27PPS
It is

The boundary line is dashed for
Calculation:
The maximum package is
The maximum revenue per train car is
Hence, it is
(c)
To find: whether the maximizing revenue is necessary a best thing company does and explain.
(c)
Answer to Problem 27PPS
It is not necessary to maximize the revenue.

Concept used:
Graphing the inequalities, it will graph the ordinary linear functions just like it is done before. The difference is that a solution to the inequality is not the drawn line but coordinate plane that satisfy the inequality.
The boundary line is dashed for
Calculation:
the maximizing the revenue is not necessary because of the revenue is maximized the company will not deliver any large packages and customers will large packages to ship will probably choose another carrier.
Hence, it is not necessary to maximize the revenue.
