A pharmacist is managing inventory of an over-the-counter (OTC) product. Over the past 30 days, the pharmacy has sold 18 bottles of the OTC product. A case of the OTC product contains 16 bottles.

Parent Volunteer Laurie was completing the treasurer’s report for her son’s Boy Scout troop at the end of the school year. She didn’t remember how many boys had paid the $24 full-year registration fee and how many had paid a $16 partial-year fee. She knew that the number of boys who paid for a full-year was ten more than the number who paid for a partial-year. If $400 was collected for all the registrations, how many boys had paid the full-year fee and how many had paid the partial-year fee?

Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.

Alphonse donates a fair amount of money to various charities each year. He wants to know that his money is actually going to do the charity work, though. Suppose that 90% of the charities that he donates to are probably reputable and 10% are probably not. Also, suppose that 80% of the money that goes to the real charities ends up actually being used for the charity work, while 20% goes to administrative costs. If he donates the same amount to each charity, then what percent probably goes to actual charity work? 72| % SUBMIT ANSWER O ASK FOR HELP TURN IT IN to search 344 111 80 Y U D H. V

The research department at a manufacturing company has developed a new process that it believes will result in an improved product. Management must decide whether to go ahead and market the new product. The new product may or may not be better than the old one. If the new product is better and the company decides to market it, sales should increase by $70,000. If it is not better and they replace the old product with the new product on the market, they will lose $25,000 to competitors. If they decide not to market the new product, they will lose a total of $60,000 if it is better and just research costs of $20,000 if it is not. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) Prepare a payoff matrix. □ (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element. Do not include the $ symbol in your answer.)

Two firms, Gene's Gloves and Wally's Wallets, have factories near a lake. Both firms use a chemical for tanning leather. Some of this chemical runs into the lake. Each year Gene's Gloves dumps 15,000 gallons and Wally's Wallets dumps 25,000 gallons into the lake. A new study has found that fish and other wildlife are negatively impacted by this chemical. The government has decided to cap the amount that the factories can dump into the river at 10,000 gallons per year. For an addition $1 per gallon, Wally's Wallets is able to substitute each gallon of harmful chemical for one gallon of a harmless alternative. Gene's Gloves needs to use the harmful but more effective chemical for production. It costs $3 per gallon to safely dispose of the harmful chemical. Assume that Gene's Gloves and Wally's Wallets maintain the same level of production under the new environmental restrictions. 1. Suppose the government gives each firm the right to dump 5,000 gallons each. If the firms cannot buy or…
