Chapter 2.2, Problem 52E
Tents L.L. Bean makes three sizes of Ultra Dome tents: two-person, four-person, and six-person models, which cost $129, $179, and $229, respectively. A two-person tent provides 40 ft2 of floor space, while four-person and six-person models provide 64 ft2 and 88 ft2 of floor space, respectively. A recent order by an organization that takes children camping ordered enough tents to hold 200 people and provide 3200 ft2 of floor space. The total cost was $8950, and we wish to know how many tents of each size were ordered. Source: L. L. Bea.
- (a) How many solutions are there to this problem?
- (b) What is the solution with the most four-person tents?
- (c) What is the solution with the most two-person tents?
- (d) Discuss the company’s pricing strategy that led to a system of equations that is dependent. Do you think that this is a coincidence or an example of logical thinking?
