The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each bus can transport 70 students, requires 5 chaperones, and costs $1,400 to rent. Each van can transport 10 students, requires 1 chaperone, and costs $90 to rent. Since there are 700 students in the senior class that may be eligible to go on the trip, the officers must plan to accommodate at least 700 students. Since only 60 parents have volunteered to serve as chaperones, the officers must plan to use at most 60 chaperones. How many vehicles of each type should the officers rent in order to minimize the transportation costs? What are the minimal transportation costs? The officers should rent buses and vans to minimize the transportation costs.

Hello Dolly, Inc. crafts three styles of dolls: Lexi, Maysy, and Dizzy. Each doll requires sewing time, painting time, and supplies. Sewing machines are available for only 118 hours, only 2805 hours are available for painting, and 390.5 lbs. of supplies are available. Each Lexi doll requires 0.2 hours of sewing, 9 hours of painting, and 0.7 lbs. of supplies. Each Maysy doll requires 0.4 hours of sewing, 10 hours of painting, and uses 0.9 pounds of supplies. Each Dizzy doll requires 0.5 hours of sewing, 7 hours of painting, and 2 pounds of supplies. If the company earns a profit of $145 per Lexi doll, $155 per Maysy doll, and $150 per Dizzy doll, how many of each doll should the company produce to maximize profit? How much profit will result? (Use for the number of Lexi dolls, y for the number of Maysy dolls, and z for the number of Dizzy dolls.) Maximize P = subject to ≤118 ≤2805 <390.5 Enter the solution to the simplex matrix below.

A famine relief effort is being mounted and there are three types of food bundles that can be flown out during each delivery. Bundle 1 has 4 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 12 litres of water. Bundle 2 has 12 kg. of flour, 4 kg. of sugar and 4 litres of water and Bundle 3 has 8 kg. of flour, 8 kg. of sugar and 8 litres of water. The relief agency has 5200 kg. of flour, 3792 kg. of sugar and 6000 litres of water for each shipment. Bundle 1 can provide for 10 people between deliveries, Bundle 2 for 8 people and Bundle 3 for 11 people. How many bundles of each type should the relief agency send on each flight in order to maximize the number of people being fed. Do this problem by setting up a linear programming problem and determining the vertices of the feasibility set. Enter the number of bundles of types 1, 2, and 3 (in that order) into the answer box below, separated with commas.
The Cheery Cherry Chair Company makes three types of chairs, the Montegue, the Capulet, and the Verona. Each chair requires assembly, finishing, and a certain amount of wood to make. The assembly area can be used for at most 10 hours per day. To keep him busy, the finishing person needs to work at least 6 hours per day. Producing a Montegue requires 1 hour of assembly, 2 hour of finishing, and 9 board feet of wood. Producing a Capulet requires 1 hour of assembly, 1 hour of finishing, and 9 board feet of wood. Finally, producing a Verona requires 2 hour of assembly, 1 hour of finishing, and 3 board feet of wood. If the company wants to minimize the amount of cherry wood used, how many should they make of each model? (It is possible to complete a fractional part a chair in a given day; in the long run you end up with completed chairs.) Number of Montegues = Number of Capulets = Number of Veronas = How many board feet of cherry wood would be used each day?
