Answer:
Hardware supplier will manufacture 60 Type A clamps, 180 Type B clamps and 150 Type C clamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Company produces 3 types of clamp
Type A
Type B
Type C
production restrictions force it to make 10 more type C clamps in the total of the other types
Hence We can say that Clamp C is equal to sum of Clamp A and Clamp and 10
framing in equation form we get;
[tex]C=A+B+10 \ \ \ \ \ equation \ 1[/tex]
Also Given:
3 times as many Type B clamps as type A clamps
Hence we can say that Clamp B is equal to thrice of Clamp A.
[tex]B=3A \ \ \ \ equation\ 2[/tex]
Also Given
Total Number of Clamps = 490
Hence Total Number of Clamps is equal to sum of number of Clamps of Type A, Type B and Type C.
Framing in equation form we get;
[tex]A+B+C =490 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3[/tex]
Substituting the equation 1 and Equation 2 in equation 3 we get
[tex]A+B+C=490\\\\A+3A+A+B+10=490\\\\A+3A+A+3A+10=490\\\\8A = 490-10\\\\8A=480\\\\A=\frac{480}{8}=60[/tex]
Now Substituting the Value of A in equation 2 we get;
[tex]B=3A = 3\times60 =180[/tex]
Now Substituting the values of A and B in equation 1 we get:
[tex]C=A+B+10 = 60+180+10= 250[/tex]
Now checking the same we get;
[tex]A+B+C=490\\60+180+250=490\\490=490[/tex]
Hence the Hardware supplier will manufacture 60 Type A clamps, 180 Type B clamps and 150 Type C clamps.
