A clothing manufacturer has 100 m of silk and 180 m of wool.
\n" ); document.write( "To make a suit it requires 2m of silk and 3m of wool,
\n" ); document.write( "to make a dress 1m of silk and 2m of wool.
\n" ); document.write( "If the profit on the suit is $108 and the profit on the dress is $60,
\n" ); document.write( "how many suits and dresses should be made to maximize the profit?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let # of suits be \"s\"; Let # of dresses be \"d\":
\n" ); document.write( "Profit = 108s + 60d
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Silk: 2s + d <= 100
\n" ); document.write( "Wool: 3s +2d <= 180
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve both for d and graph them:
\n" ); document.write( "d <= -2s + 100
\n" ); document.write( "d <= (-3/2)s + 90
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C100%2C-10%2C200%2C-2x%2B100%2C%28-3%2F2%29x+%2B+90%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the coordinates of the enclosed polygon and test the
\n" ); document.write( "coordinates in the Profit equation to determine the maximum.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Coordinates: (20,60), (0,0) , (0,90), (50,0)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Determining maximum Profit:
\n" ); document.write( "Profit = 108s + 60d
\n" ); document.write( "(20,60): P = 108*20 + 60*60 = 5760
\n" ); document.write( "(0,90): P = 90*60 = 5400
\n" ); document.write( "(50,0): p = 50*108 = 5400
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Maximum profit comes when 20 dresses and 60 suits are produced
