(a)
To find:
Using matrix multiplication to find a matrix giving the comparative cost per bakery item for the two purchase options
The Bread Box, a small neighborhood bakery, sells four main items: sweet rolls, bread, cakes, and pies. The amount of each ingredient (in cups, except for eggs) required for these items is given by matrix A.
The cost (in cents) for each ingredient when purchased in large lots or small lots is given by matrix B.

The cost (in cents) for each ingredient when purchased in large lots or small lots is given by matrix B.
(c)
To find:
Using matrix multiplication to find a matrix giving the costs under the two purchase options to fill the day’s orders.
The Bread Box, a small neighborhood bakery, sells four main items: sweet rolls, bread, cakes, and pies. The amount of each ingredient (in cups, except for eggs) required for these items is given by matrix A.
The cost (in cents) for each ingredient when purchased in large lots or small lots is given by matrix B.
