A cargo helicopter delivers only 100100100-pound packages and 120120120-pound packages. For each delivery trip, the helicopter must carry at least 101010 packages, and the total weight of the packages can be at most 1{,}1001,1001, comma, 100 pounds. What is the maximum number of 120120120-pound packages that the helicopter can carry per trip?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weight of package delivered = 100 - 120 pounds

Number of packages carried per trip is atleast 10 = ≥ 10

Total weight of packages must be at most 1,100 ≤1,100

The maximum number of 120 pound packages the helicopter can carry:

Maximum capacity = 1100 pounds

Number of packages ≥ 10

Let number of 110 packages carried = x

Number of 120 packages carried = y

x + y ≥ 10 - - (1)

100x + 120y ≤ 1100 - - - (2)

From (1): x ≥ 10 - y

100(10 - y) + 120y ≤ 1100

1000 - 100y + 120y ≤ 1100

1000 + 20y ≤ 1100

20y ≤ 1100 - 1000

20y ≤ 100

y = 5

y = number of 120 pound packages carried

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of 100 pound packages

y = number of 120 pound packages.

For each delivery trip, the helicopter must carry at least 10 packages.

x + y ≥ 10

x ≥ 10 - y

Total weight of the packages the helicopter can deliver can be at most 1,100 pounds

100x + 120y ≤ 1100

Divide through by 20

5x + 6y ≤ 55

Substitute x ≥ 10 - y into the equation

5(10 - y ) + 6y ≤ 55

50 - 5y + 6y ≤ 55

y ≤ 55 - 50

y ≤ 5

Therefore, the maximum number of 120 pound packages helicopter can carry is 5.

answer: 2 and 1
