Problem 3: Barbecue Restaurant Joe's Slop House is a little hole in the wall restaurant that serves slow-cooked barbecue beef sandwiches. The beef for the sandwiches cooks overnight, so each evening Joe decides how much beef to cook for the next day. The beef costs $2 a pound and Joe sells each sandwich (filled with 1 pound of beef) for $4. (Consider only the cost of beef and ignore the cost of all the other items, including bread, for this problem.) At the end of the day, any leftover beef is given to the neighborhood church for their soup kitchen. The tax deduction for this is worth $0.50 a pound. Daily demand for the beef can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 80 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. How many pounds of beef should Joe cook for the next day?

Concept explainers

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

Question

Problem 3: Barbecue Restaurant
Joe's Slop House is a little hole in the wall restaurant that serves slow-cooked barbecue beef
sandwiches. The beef for the sandwiches cooks overnight, so each evening Joe decides how much
beef to cook for the next day. The beef costs $2 a pound and Joe sells each sandwich (filled with
1 pound of beef) for $4. (Consider only the cost of beef and ignore the cost of all the other items,
including bread, for this problem.) At the end of the day, any leftover beef is given to the
neighborhood church for their soup kitchen. The tax deduction for this is worth S0.50 a pound.
Daily demand for the beef can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 80 pounds
and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. How many pounds of beef should Joe cook for the next
day?

Question 4 Maggie works at a very popular freshly squeezed lemonade stand on a beach that sells regular lemonade and strawberry lemonade. To make a glass of regular lemonade it takes 4 whole lemons. To make a glass of strawberry lemonade it takes 3 whole lemons and 2 average sized strawberries. The owners figured they have a budget so that each morning a truck delivers 900 lemons to the stand and 408 strawberries to the stand. On each glass of regular lemonade, a profit of R1,95 is made. The stand is able to charge more for strawberry lemonades and a profit of R2,10 is made on each glass of that. The owners want Maggie to sell at least twice the amount of strawberry lemonade each day as regular lemonade because more profit is made on the strawberry lemonade. They have also asked that at least 50 strawberry lemonades get sold each day because the strawberries spoil more quickly than the lemons. How many regular lemonades and how many strawberry lemonades should Maggie sell each day to…

Three friends are trying to predict who will make more money at work tomorrow. John works construction: he will make $250 tomorrow unless it rains, in which case he will make $0. Sara works in a restaurant: she will earn $100 if it is sunny, $200 if it is rainy, and $250 if the weather is average. Chris works in a warehouse, and he earns a flat rate of $200 per day, regardless of weather conditions. Suppose there is a 20% chance that tomorrow will be sunny, and 50% chance that the weather will be average, and a 30% chance of rain. Determine tomorrow’s expected earnings for each of these 3 friends. Compute the standard deviation for Sara’s earnings. Handwrite the solution
Some students want to start a business that cleans and polishes cars. It takes 2.5 hours of labor and costs $1.5 in supplies to clean a car. It takes 1.5 hours of labor and costs $3 in supplies to polish a car. The students can work a total of 150 hours in one week. They also decide that they want to spend no more than $120 per week on supplies. The students expect to make a profit of $6.75 for each car that they clean and a profit of $9.50 for each car that they polish. The objective function is: * Maximize Z=7.75X1+8.5X2 Maximize Z=6.75 X1+9.5X2 Maximize Z=2.5X1+1.5X2 Maximize Z=9.5 X1+6.75X2
