and sleeveless blouses. A long-sleeve blouse
requires 1.5 hours of cutting and 1.2 hours of sewing. A
short-sleeve blouse requires 1 hour of cutting and .9 hour of
sewing. A sleeveless blouse requires .5 hour of cutting
and .6 hour of sewing. There are 380 hours of labor available
in the cutting department each day and 330 hours in
the sewing department. If the plant is to run at full capacity,

If the plant is to run at full capacity,
how many of each type of blouse should be made each day?
--------------------------
Let x be # of long-sleeve; y be # of short sleeve ; z be # of sleeveless blouses.
EQUATIONS:
Cutting Eq: 1.5x + y + 0.5z <=380
Sewing Eq: 1.2x +0.9y + 0.6z <= 330
-------------------------
Comment: You need additional information to give you a 3rd equation
so you can solve for x,y, and z.
