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.arrow_forwardA contractor, Susan Meyer, has to haul gravel to three building sites. She can purchase as much as 18 tons at a gravel pit in the north of the city and 14 tons at one in the south. She needs 10, 5, and 10 tons at sites 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The purchase price per ton at each gravel pit and the hauling cost per ton are given in the table below. Susan wishes to determine how much to haul from each pit to each site to minimize the total cost for purchasing and hauling gravel. Hauling Cost per Ton at Site Pit 1 3 Price per Ton North $30 $60 $50 $100 South $60 $30 $40 $120 Now suppose that trucks (and their drivers) need to be hired to do the hauling, where each truck can only be used to haul gravel from a single pit to a single site. Each truck can haul 5 tons, and the cost per truck is five times the hauling cost per ton given above. Only full trucks would be used to supply each site. a.

The company earned a 10% return on 0.5L bottled water, an 8% return on 1.0L bottled water, and a 12% return on 1.5L bottled water. The total return earned last week amounted to ¢1230. The total cartons of bottled drinking water produced in 0.5L and 1.0L equalled the cartons of 1.5L produced last week. Formulate the simultaneous linear system of equations that when solved will give the number of cartons of each litre of bottled drinking water produced last week. Hence, solve the resulting system of equations obtained to find how many cartons of each litre of bottled drinking water were produced last week.arrow_forwardThe total budgeted cost of a project is 899,642 dollars.
