The Fiedler family has up to $130,000 to invest. They decide that they want to have at least
$40,000 invested in stable bonds yielding 5.5% and that no more than $60,000 should be

tall and 6 feet wide. The mosaic must be at least 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide. The tiles in the
mosaic have words written on them and the artist wants the words to all be horizontal in
the final mosaic. The word tiles come in two sizes: The smaller tiles are 4 inches tall and 4
inches wide, while the large tiles are 6 inches tall and 12 inches wide. If the small tiles cost
$3.50 each and the larger tiles cost $4.50 each, how many of each should be used to

Eric’s Carpentry manufactures two types of bookshelves that are 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide,
a basic model and a deluxe model. Each basic bookshelf requires 1.5 hours for assembly
and 1 hour for finishing; each deluxe model requires 2.5 hours for assembly and 1 hour for
finishing. Two assemblers and one finisher are employed by the company, and each works
40 hours per week. Eric can sell more basic models than deluxe models, so he wants the
number of basic models produced to be 50% more than the number of deluxe models
produced. If he makes $50 profit on the basic models and $65 profit on the deluxe models,
how many should he make to maximize the profit? What is the maximum profit?
