Question

Genghis Motors wants to build cars and motorbikes on a budget. The company plans to spend at most $75000 and use at least 320 workers to build cars and motorbikes.

8000C+5500M≤75000 represents the number of cars C and motorbikes M the company can build by spending at most $75000.
52C+38M≥320 represents the number of cars and motorbikes the company can build by using at least 320 workers.
Can the company meet both of its expectations by building 4 cars and 6 motorbikes?

Answer 1

Evaluate each of the expressions for the given values of the variables and see if the condition is met.

8000*4 +5500*6 = 65000 ≤ 75000 . . . true

52*4 +38*6 = 436 ≥ 320 . . . . . . . . . . . . . true

Yes, the company can meet both its expectations by building 4 cars and 6 motorbikes.

Of course, another way to work this is to draw the graph and see if the offered point is in the feasible region. It is.
