Chapter 4.3, Problem 20E
Political Campaign A citizen decides to campaign for the election of a candidate for city council. Her goal is to generate at least 210 votes by a combination of door-to-door canvassing, letter writing, and phone calls. She figures that each hour of door-to-door canvassing will generate four votes, each hour of letter writing will generate two votes, and each hour on the phone will generate three votes. She would like to devote at least seven hours to phone calls and spend at most half her time at door-to-door canvassing. How much time should she allocate to each task in order to achieve her goal in the least amount of time?

- Shipping TelevisionsAn electronics discount chain has a sale on certain brand of 60-in. high-definition television set. The chain has stores in Santa Monica and El Toro and warehouses in Long Beach and Pasadena. To satisfy rush orders, 15 sets must be shipped from the warehouses to the Santa Monica store, and 19 must be shipped to the El Toro store. The cost of shipping a set is 5 from Long Beach to Santa Monica, 6 from Long Beach to El Toro, 4 from Pasadena to Santa Monica, and 5.50 from Pasadena to El Toro. If the Long Beach warehouse has 24 sets and the Pasadena warehouse has 18 sets in stock, how many sets should be shipped from each warehouse to each store to fill the orders at a minimum shipping cost?arrow_forwardSales Commissions A saleswoman works at a kiosk that offers three different models of cell phones: standard with 16 GB capacity, deluxe with 32 GB capacity, and super deluxe with 64 GB capacity. For each phone that she sells, she earns a commission based on the cell phone model. One week she sells 9 standard, 11 deluxe, and 8 super-deluxe and makes $740 in commission. The next week she sells 13 standard, 15 deluxe, and 16 super-deluxe for a $1204 commission. The third week she sells 8 standard, 7 deluxe, and 14 super-deluxe, earning $828 in commission. (a) Let x, y, and z represent the commission she earns on standard, deluxe, and super-deluxe, respectively. Translate the given information into a system of equations in x, y, and z. (b) Express the system of equations you found in part (a) as a matrix equation of the form AX=B . (c) Find the inverse of the coefficient matrix A and use it to solve the matrix equation in part (b). How much commission does the saleswoman earn on each model of cell phone?arrow_forward5. A coffee merchant sells three blends of coffee.
