Hi, I need some help with this unit problem, what equations would work best and how do I put numbers together to answer the question .....Here it is:
The Sandy Dandy Dune Buggy Co. makes two models of offroad vehicles. The Sand Crab and the Surf Mobile. They can get basic parts to produce as many a 15 Sand Crabs and 12 Surf Mobiles a week, but two parts have to be special ordered. The manifold clamp and the suspension joint. Each SC needs 5 manifold clamps and 2 suspension joints, and each SM needs 3 manifold clamps and 6 suspension joints. For each week they have a max. # of 81 clamps and 78 joints available. It takes 20 hours to make a SC and 30 hours to make a SM. The Co. has 12 employees who each work a max of 37,5 hrs a week.
*How many of each should they make in order to Maximize their profits?
They know their profit margin on each SC is $500 and on each SM is $1000.
What equations should I use, quadratic functions, graghs, data...
Please help if you can step by step.
Thank you ,
