LINEAR PROGRAMMING

17. A whole sale company plans to sell cakes and biscuits in packets. Every packet A
contains 100 pieces of cakes and 80 pieces of biscuits. Whereas every packet B contains
60 pieces of cakes and 120 pieces of biscuits. To gain profit, the company has to fulfill
the following conditions:

I: Cakes being sold must not exceed 6600 pieces.

II: Biscuits being sold must not less than 4800 pieces.

III: The total number of packet B must be at least 2 times of the total number of
packet A.

(a) If x and y represent packet A and packet B respectively, state three inequalities other
than x> 0 and y>0, that satisfy all the above conditions.

satisfies the conditions above.

(c) Based on your graph, answer the following questions:

(i) Find the range of the number of packet B that is sold if the number of packet
A being sold is 15.

(ii) For each packet A and packet B being sold, the company will make a profit of
RM 50 and RM 25 respectively. Calculate the maximum profit that the
company will gain.
