For today’s lunch, a school cafeteria’s budget allows it to purchase at most 60 cans of beans and 45 cans of corn. 1 can of beans feeds 5 students, and 1 can of corn feeds 6 students. each student will have beans or corn, but not both, and there will be a maximum of 420 students at lunch. if a can of beans cost $2.00 and a can of corn cost $3.00, what is the maximum amount of money required to feed all of the students either beans or corn?

a: $180

b: $195

c: $210

d: $225

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cans of beans and y be the number of cans of corn.

Cafeteria’s budget allows it to purchase at most 60 cans of beans and 45 cans of corn.

1 can of beans feeds 5 students, and 1 can of corn feeds 6 students. Each student will have beans or corn, but not both, and there will be a maximum of 420 students at lunch.

Can of beans cost $2.00 and a can of corn cost $3.00.

Objective function, Z=2x+3y

The required linear programming problem is

Objective function, Z=2x+3y

Subject to the constraints

      (Only 1st quadrant)

Draw the graph of these constraints as shown below.

The verities of common shaded region are (0,45), (30,45), (60,20), (60,0), (0,0).

Points            Z=2x+3y

(0,0)                    0

(0,45)                  135

(30,45)                195  

(60,20)                180

(60,0)                  120

The maximum amount of money required to feed all of the students either beans or corn is $195.

Number of cans of beans = 30

Number of cans of corn = 45

Therefore, the correct option is B.

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
