Question

It takes Fena Tailoring 3 hr of cutting and 6 hr of sewing to make a tiered silk organza bridal dress. It takes 6 hr of cutting and 3 hr of sewing to make a lace sheath bridal dress. The shop has at most 30 hr per week available for cutting and at most 33 hr per week for sewing. The profit is ?$330 on an organza dress and ?$190 on a lace dress. How many of each kind of bridal dress should be made each week in order to maximize? profit? What is the maximum? profit?

Answer 1

Answer :The maximum profit is $1,650 when making 5 organza dresses and no lace dresses per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of organza dresses, and y represent the number of lace dresses.

The time constraint for cutting:
3x + 6y ≤ 30

The time constraint for sewing:
6x + 3y ≤ 33

The profit function to maximize is:
P(x, y) = 330x + 190y

Using these constraints,
3x + 6y ≤ 30
6x + 3y ≤ 33
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0

Optimal solution:

The corner points of the feasible region are (0,0), (0,5), (3,3), and (5,0). Calculate the profit for each point:

P(0,0) = 0
P(0,5) = 950
P(3,3) = 1,320
P(5,0) = 1,650

The maximum profit is $1,650 when making 5 organza dresses and no lace dresses per week.
