Concept explainers

Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.

Chapter 6, Problem 42RE

Degree Requirements No sooner had the “new and flexible” course requirement been released than the English Department again pressured the University Senate to include their vaunted “Verbal Expression” component in place of the fine arts requirement in all programs (including the sciences):

All candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Science at SSU must take at least 120 credits from the Liberal Arts, Sciences, Verbal Expression, and Mathematics, including at most as many Science credits as Liberal Arts credits, and at least twice as many Verbal Expression credits as Science credits and Liberal Arts credits combined, with Liberal Arts credits exceeding Mathematics credits by at least a quarter of the number of Verbal Expression credits.

Science credits cost $300 each, while each credit in the remaining subjects now costs $400. John would like to have Billy-Sean meet all the requirements at a minimum total cost.

a. Set up (without solving) the associated linear programming problem.

b. Use technology to determine how many of each type of credit Billy-Sean should take. What will the total cost be?
