A rancher raises chickens and pigs on his 500–acre ranch. Each chicken requires 1 acres of land and needs $25 of veterinary care per year while each pig requires 4 acres of land and needs $50 of veterinary care per year. If the rancher can afford no more than $8,550 for veterinary care this year. If the expected profit is $40 for each chicken and $110 for each pig, how many of each animal should he raise to obtain the greatest possible profit? a). What is the system of inequalities. b) Solve using the graphical method (sketch graph shade, list all corner points) state solution.

If during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.
A rancher raises goats and llamas on her 400-acre ranch. Each goat needs 2 acres of land and requires $100 of veterinary care per year, and each llama requires 5 acres of land and requires $80 of veterinary care per year. The rancher can afford no more than $13,200 for veterinary care this year. If the expected profit is $60 for each goat and $90 for each llama, how many type of each animal should she raise to obtain the maximum profit?
A waterpark has a profit of $22,000 on sunny days, a profit of $11,500 on overcast days, but a loss of $4,000 on rainy days. For the month of June, the weather is predicted to be 62% sunny, 23% overcast, and 15% rainy. Find the expected daily profit for the waterpark in June.
A recipe for a berry smoothie, which sell for $3 each, uses 6 oz of berries and 2 oz of bananas. A recipe for a tropical smoothie, which sell for $5 each, uses 2 oz of berries and 4 oz of bananas. If I have 90 oz of berries and 80 oz of bananas available, how man of each type of smoothie should I make to maximize my revenue?
Comparing two college enrollments, we have college "A," that had 14,100 students in 2005, and projected enrollment increases of 1500 students per year. College "B" had 2005 enrollment of 41,700, and a projected enrollment decline of 800 students per year. Determine the year at which both schools will have the same enrollment, and what that enrollment would be.
A farmer, in the business of growing fodder for livestock, has 90 acres available for planting alfalfa and corn. The cost of seed per acre is $32 for alfalfa and $48 for corn. The total cost of labor will amount to $60 per acre for alfalfa and $30 per acre for corn. The expected revenue (before costs are subtracted) is $500 per acre from alfalfa and $700 per acre from corn. If the farmer does not wish to spend more than $3840 for seed and $4200 for labor, how many acres of each crop should be planted to obtain the maximum profit?
Kane Manufacturing produces two models of fireplace grates, model A and model B. To produce each model A grate requires 3 lbs. of cast iron and 6 minutes of labor. To produce each model B grate requires 4 lbs. of cast iron and 3 minutes of labor. The profit for each model A grate is $2.00 and the profit for each model B grate is $1.50. If the company has 1000 lbs. of cast iron and 20 labor hours available for the production of fire grates, how many of each grates of each model should be made to maximize Kane’s profit? What is the maximum profit? Write the objective function and the system of constraints. (use the graphical method of linear programming) Also, can you please make note of every single step, please!
