Pedro owns a shrimp truck near the beach. he sells garlic shrimp for $8 a plate and spicy shrimp for $6 a plate. each day pedro stocks enough shrimp to sell at most 120 plates total, but he would like to earn at least $800. which combination of garlic shrimp plates and spicy shrimp plates can pedro sell to meet his goal?

Respuesta :

Pedro can sell enough by combining the sales of 40 plates of garlic shrimp and 80 dishes of spicy shrimp to reach his objective.

As a result

Near the shore, Pedro runs a shrimp delivery business.

He offers spicy shrimp for $6 a plate and garlic shrimp for $8 per plate.

Pedro wants to make at least $800 per day but only stocks enough shrimp to sell a maximum of 120 plates.

We need to ascertain,

Which dish combining hot shrimp and garlicky shrimp can Pedro sell to reach his objective?

In response to the query,

Let's sell the x dishes of garlic shrimp.

And plates of hot shrimp were sold.

Pedro has 120 dishes' worth of shrimp in stock each day.

Then,

Shrimp sold daily total is equal to the sum of plates of garlic shrimp and spicy shrimp.

                           X + Y = 120

Furthermore, He offers $6spicy and $8garlic shrimp, per plate.

To make at least $800 is what he wants to do.

Then,

the sum of the price of the spicy shrimp per plate and the price of the garlic shrimp per plate,

                             8X + 6Y = 800

When the two equations are solved,

                              X + Y = 120

                           8X + 6Y = 800

From equation 1,

                             Y = 120 - X

In equation 2, replace x with its value.

8X + 6Y = 800

8(120 - Y) + 6Y = 800

960 - 8Y + 6Y = 800

- 2Y = - 160

Y = 160/2

Y = 80

                         

In equation 1, replace y with its value.

X + Y = 120

X + 80 = 120

X = 120 - 80

X = 40

                     

In order to achieve his objective, Pedro sold a combination of 40 plates of garlic shrimp and 80 dishes of spicy shrimp.
