Question 1160796: Hello! So I have tried over and over to complete this problem, and I just can't get it.
The celebration organizers must decide how many buses and trams to lease in order to shuttle people from the parking lot to the parade route. They are working under a number of constraints:
There are at most 8 trams available.
There are at most 30 shuttle buses available.
It takes 4 staff members to safely load and operate a tram, while it takes only one operator for a shuttle bus. There are at most 50 staff members available for this duty.
Basic insurance costs $10,000. Each tram costs an additional $1000 in insurance. However, each shuttle bus results in a $1000 discount from the basic insurance. The organizers have a budget of $15,000 to spend on insurance.
E. Write an inequality for each of the four constraints above. Make sure to define your variables.
Tram Inequality: ________________________
Staffing: __________________________
Shuttle Bus Inequality: ____________________
Insurance: _________________________
Thank you!
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let T = number of trams
let B = number of buses
let S = number of staff.
let I = amount of insurance
since all they're asking is to write an inequality for each od the four constraints, i would keep it simple and answer:
T <= 8
B <= 30
S <= 50
I <= 15,000
i don't see where they're asking anything more complicated than that.
the additional information given does not appear to be required, unless i'm missing something from what you're asking.
