Question 1157270: Paradise river cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: A type A vessel has 60 deluxe cabins and 160 standard cabins, whereas a type B vessel has 80 deluxe cabins and 120 standard cabins. Under a charter agreement with odyssey travel agency, paradise river cruises is to provide odyssey with a minimum of 460 deluxe and 780 standard cabins for their 2 week cruise in may. It costs $58,000 to operate a type A vessel and $75,000 to operate a type B vessel for that period. How many of each type vessel should be used to keep operating costs to a minimum?
A.Set up table to represent this information
B. (Be specific) let variable x represent
(Be specific) let variable y represent
C. Write the objective function and whether it is to be minimized or maximized
D. Write the constraints Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
your objective function is:
58000 * x + 75000 * y
this is the cost you want to minimize.
your constraints are:
60x + 80y >= 460
this is the number of deluxe cabins you need to supply a minimum of.
160x + 120y >= 780
this is the number of standard cabins you need to supply a minimum of.
x >= 0
y >= 0
this tells you that the number of cabins can't be negative.
