Solve the problem.

A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B. The company makes a $3.00 profit on each part A that it produces and a$5.00 profit on each part B that it produces. Let x= the number of part A produced in a week and y= the number of part B produced in a week. Write the objective function that describes the total weekly profit.

I got: z=3x+5y

A dietitian needs to purchase food for patients. She can purchase an ounce of chicken for $0.25 and an ounce of potatoes for$0.02 Let x= the number of ounces of chicken and y= the number of ounces of potatoes purchased per patient. Write the objective function that describes the total cost per patient per meal.

I got: z=0.25x+0.02y

A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B and is bound by the following constraints:
∙ Part A requires 1 hour of casting time and 10 hours of firing time.
∙ Part B requires 4 hours of casting time and 3 hours of firing time.
∙ The maximum number of hours per week available for casting and firing are 100 and 70, respectively.
∙ The cost to the company is $0.75 per part A and$3.00 per part B. Total weekly costs cannot exceed $45.00. Let x = the number of part A produced in a week and y= the number of part B produced in a week. Write a system of three inequalities that describes these constraints.

2. Hello, soly_sol!

You've switched some of your variables . . .

A company produces two items: part A and part B.
Part A requires 1 hour of casting time and 10 hours of firing time.
Part B requires 4 hours of casting time and 3 hours of firing time.
The maximum number of hours per week available for casting and firing are 100 and 70, resp.
The cost to the company is $0.75 per part A and$3.00 per part B.
Total weekly costs cannot exceed \$45.00.

Let x = the number of part A produced in a week
and y= the number of part B produced in a week.
Write a system of three inequalities that describes these constraints.
I suggest organizing the information . . .

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}& |& \text{casting} &|& \text{firing} &|& \text{cost} &| \\ \hline\text{part A }(x) &|& x &|& 10x &|& 0.75x &| \\\text{part B }(y) &|& 4y &|& 3y &|& 3.00y &| \\ \hline\text{total} &|& 100 &|& 70 &|& 45.00 &|\end{array}$ . . Then read down the columns

The system is: . $\begin{array}{ccc}x + 4y & \leq & 100 \\ 10x + 3y & \leq & 70 \\ 0.75x + 3.00y & \leq & 45.00 \end{array}$
