Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals.

Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 265 boxes with a standard deviation of 42 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow?

He has $45,000 available for purchasing the boats, and he has storage for up to 65 total boats. A canoe costs $600 and will rent for $25 a day, while a kayak costs $750 and will rent for $30 a day. Determine the number of canoes and kayaks he should buy in order to earn the highest daily revenue, assuming all boats are rented out each day. Set-up this linear programming problem. Let x be the number of canoes he buys, let y be the number of kayaks he buys, and let R be his daily revenue (in $). The correct set-up is A.
