prepare, 2 hours to paint, and 8 hours to fire. A tree takes 15 hours to prepare, 3 hours to paint, and 4
hours to fire. A sleigh takes 4 hours to prepare, 14 hours to paint, and 7 hours to fire. If the workshop has
112 hours for preparation time, 85 hours for painting, and 104 hours for firing, how many of each can be
made?
A) 7 wreaths, 5 trees, 4 sleighs B) 5 wreaths, 4 trees, 7 sleighs
C) 4 wreaths, 7 trees, 5 sleighs D) 8 wreaths, 6 trees, 5 sleighs
19) Three shrimp boats supply the shrimp wholesalers on Hilton Head with fresh catch. The Annabelle takes
50% of its catch to Hudson’s, 20% to Captain J’s, and 30% to Mainstreet. The Curly Q takes 40% of its catch
to Hudson’s, 40% to Captain J’s, and 20% to Mainstreet. The SloJoe takes 30% of its catch to Hudson’s, 40%
to Captain J’s, and 30% to Mainstreet. One week Hudson’s received 237.4 pounds of shrimp, Captain J’s
received 207 pounds, and Mainstreet received 155.6 pounds. How many pounds of shrimp did each boat
catch?
A) Annabelle 165 lbs, Curly Q 244 lbs, SloJoe 191 lbs
B) Annabelle 244 lbs, Curly Q 191 lbs, SloJoe 165 lbs
C) Annabelle 191 lbs, Curly Q 244 lbs, SloJoe 165 lbs

20) To raise money, a group of three friends is each trying to sell 100 candles. Each friend has a package
containing the same number of tapers, votives, and tealights. The tapers sell for $6.00 each, the votives sell
for $1.50 each, and the tealights sell for $0.75 each. Maya sold all of the candles to raise $431.25, Lorrin sold
all of the tapers and tealights to raise $378.75, while Sara sold all the votives, all the tealights, and half of
the tapers to raise $251.25. How many of each type of candle did each package contain?
21) Meisha has $25,000 that she wants to invest. She invests it in accounts paying 12%, 7%, and 6% simple
interest. The account paying 12% is a higher–risk account, so she wants the amount in that account to be
half of the amount she has in the account paying 6% simple interest. If her annual interest is $1945, how
much is invested at each rate?
22) Lexie wants to have an income of $9000 per year from investments. To that end she is going to invest
$90,000 in three different accounts. These accounts pay 7%, 10%, and 14% simple interest. If she wants to
have $10,000 more in the account paying 7% simple interest than she has in the account paying 14% simple
interest, how much should go into each account?
23) Craig, Jenni, and Jade go to a store having a sale on workout gear. Craig buys three pairs of socks, two
T–shirts, and one pair of shorts for $35.90. Jenni buys four pairs of socks, three T–shirts, and three pairs of
shorts for $71.35. Jade buys one pair of socks, four T–shirts, and 2 pairs of shorts for $59.30. What is the
price of each item?
24) A health shop owner made trail mix containing dried fruit, nuts, and carob chips. The dried fruit sells for
$5.50 per pound, the nuts sell for $7.50 per pound, and the carob chips sell for $8.50 per pound. The shop
owner mixed 50 pounds of the trail mix and sells it for $6.70 per pound. If the amount of nuts is five
pounds more than the amount of carob ships, how much of each item was used for the trail mix?

SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.
18) A company manufactures three types of wooden chairs at two different locations. In one week, the main
location produces 18 Kitui chairs, 12 Goa chairs, and 6 Santa Fe chairs while the secondary location
produces 10 Kitui chairs, 3 Goa chairs, and 5 Santa Fe chairs.
(a) Find a 2 by 3 matrix representing the above data.
(b) If each Kitui chair requires 25 board–feet of wood, a Goa chair requires 29 board–feet of wood, and a
Santa Fe requires 30 board–feet of wood, find a 3 by 1 matrix representing the amount of material.
(c) Multiply the 2 by 3 matrix found in part a and the 3 by 1 matrix found in part b to get a 2 by 1 matrix
showing the week’s usage of material at both locations.
Page 37
19) The matrix 922
435 represents one week’s usage of wood (in board–feet) at two locations of a company that
manufactures chairs. Due to differences in transportation costs, the first location pays $0.89 per board–foot
and the second location pays $0.94 per board–foot.
(a) Find a 1 by 2 matrix representing the cost of the wood.
(b) Multiply the given matrix and the matrix found in part a to determine the total cost of wood for that
week.

29) A coffee store has available 75 pounds of A grade coffee and 120 pounds of B grade coffee. These will be
blended into 1 pound packages as follow: an economy blend that contains 4 ounces of A grade coffee and
12 ounces of B grade coffee and a superior blend that contains 8 ounces of A grade coffee and 8 ounces of
B grade coffee. Using x to denote the number of packages of the economy blend and y to denote the
number of packages of the superior blend, write a system of linear inequalities that describes the possible
number of packages of each blend. Graph the system and label the corner points.

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
Set up the linear programming problem.
1) A steel company produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B. The company makes a $2.00
profit on each part A that it produces and a $6.00 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.
A) z = 2x + 6y B) z =6x +2y
C) z = 8(x + y) D) z =2(x –6) +6(y – 2)
2) A dietitian needs to purchase food for patients. She can purchase an ounce of chicken for $0.25 and an
ounce of potatoes for $0.03. 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.
A) z = 0.25x + 0.03y B) z = 0.03x +0.25y C) z =25x +3y D) z =3y +25y
3) 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.
A)
x +4y ≤100
10x +3y ≤70
0.75x +3y ≤45
B)

· Each ounce of potatoes contains 5 grams of protein and 35 grams of carbohydrates.
· The minimum daily requirements for the patients under the dietitian’s care are 45 grams of protein and
58 grams of carbohydrates.
Let x = the number of ounces of chicken and y = the number of ounces of potatoes purchased per patient.
Write a system of inequalities that describes these constraints.
