A student is about to take a test that contains computation problems worth 8 points each and word problems worth 10 points each. He can do a computation problem in 2 minutes and a word problem in 3 minutes. He has 30 minutes to take the test and may answer no more than 11 problems. Assuming he correctly answers all the problems attempted, how many of each type of problem must he answer to maximize his score? What is the maximum score? He must answer computation problems and word problems to maximize his score. The maximum score is

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.
