Question

An online retailer requires three different size containers to package its products for shipment. The costs of these containers A, B, and C, and their capacities are shown as follows:

            Container         A          B          C

            Cost ($ each)     4          6          7

            Capacity (cu in) 200       400      600

If the retailer orders 2500 containers with a total capacity of 1,100,000 cu in at a cost of $15,000, how many of each are in the order?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let x,y and z be the number of containers ordered for the items A,B and C respectively.

The total number of container ordered is:

2500

Hence,

x+y+z=2500 ...(1)
