A child's ticket costs ₱4 and an adult's ticket is ₱7. How many of each type of ticket were sold? Let x = children’s ticket y = adult’s ticket x + y = 88 4x + 7y = 553 x + y = 88 y = 88-x 4x + 7y = 553 4x+7(88-x)=553 4x+616-7x=553 -3x=-63 x = 21 x + y = 88 21+y=88 y=67 Answer: 21 children’s tickets and 67 adult’s tickets were sold. 3. A woman owns 21 pets. Each of her pets is either a cat or a bird. If the pets have a total of 76 legs, and assuming that none of the bird's legs are protruding from any of the cats' jaws, how many cats and how many birds does the woman own? Let x = number of cats y = number of birds x + y = 21 4x + 2y = 76 x + y = 21 y = 21 – x 4x + 2y = 76 4x+2(21-x)=76 4x+42-2x=76 2x=34 x=17 x + y = 21 17+y=21 y=4 Answer: There are 17 cats and 4 birds. Let’s Analyze Weeks 4-5 ULOa 9. A student has money in three accounts that pay 5%, 7%, and 8%, in annual interest. She has three times as much invested at 8% as she does at 5%. If the total amount she has invested is $1600 and her interest for the year comes to $115, how much money does she have in each account? Let x = money with 5% interest y = money with 7% interest z = money with 8% interest x + y + z = 1,600 .05x + .07y + .08z = 115 3x=z x+y+z=1,600 x+y+3x=1,600 4x+y=1,600 y=1,600-4x y=1,600-4(300) y=1,600-1,200 y=400 .05x + .07y + .08z = 115 .05x + .07y + .08(3x) = 115 .05x + .07y + .24x = 115 .29x + .07y = 115 .29x + .07(1,600-4x) =115 .29x + 112 -.28x =115 .01x = 3 x = 300 z=3x z=3(300) z=900 Answer: The student has $300, $400 and $900 in her bank accounts with 5%, 7% and 8% interests, respectively. 7. How many gallons of 20% alcohol solution and 50% alcohol solution must be mixed to get 9 gallons of 30% alcohol solution? Let x = gallons of 20% alcohol solution y = gallons of 50% alcohol solution .20x + .50y = 2.7 x+y=9 .20x + .50y = 2.7 -.20(x + y = 9) -.20x - .20y = -1.8 .30y = .90 y=3 x+y=9 x+3=9 x=6 Answer: 6 gallons of 20% alcohol solution and 3 gallons of 50% alcohol solution must be mixed in order to get 9 gallons of 30% alcohol solution. Let’s Check Weeks 4-5 ULOb Let’s Analyze Weeks 4-5 ULOb 1. A fruit juice company makes two special drinks by blending apple and pineapple juices. The first drink uses 30% apple juice and 70% pineapple, while the second drink uses 60% apple and 40% pineapple. There are 1000 liters of apple and 1500 liters of pineapple juice available. If the profit for the first drink is ₱0.60 per liter and that for the second drink is ₱0.50, use the simplex method to find the number of liters of each drink that should be produced in order to maximize the profit. Let X be the number of liters of drink 1 Y be the number of liters of drink 2 Therefore, we shall maximize: Z=0.60X + 0.50Y X,Y≥0 .30X + .60Y ≤ 1,000 .70X + .40Y ≤ 1,500 X 1 0 0 FINAL TABLEAU Y S1 S2 0 -1.33 2 1 2.33 -1 0 0.37 0.7 b 1,666.67 833.33 1,416.67 (X,Y,S1,S2) = (1,666.67,833.33,0,0) Z=0.60X + 0.50Y Z=0.60(1,666.67) + 0.50(833.33) Z=1,000 + 416.67 Z=1,416.67 Answer: 1,667 liters of drink 1 and 833 liters of drink 2 should be produced in order to generate the maximum revenue of ₱1,416.67 2. An accounting firm has 900 hours of staff time and 100 hours of reviewing time available each week. The firm charges ₱2000 for an audit and ₱300 for a tax return. Each audit requires 100 hours of staff time and 10 hours of review time, and each tax return requires 12.5 hours of staff time and 2.5 hours of review time. What number of audits and tax returns will bring in a maximum revenue?

Let’s Check Weeks 6-7 ULOa 3. What are the three information needs of the transportation model? In order to use the transportation model, three information must first be determined. First is the origin points and the capacity/supply per period at each. Another is the destination points and the demand per period at each. Finally, the cost of shipping one unit from each origin to each destination. 7. Explain what is meant by the term degeneracy within the context of transportation modeling. Degeneracy, in the context of transportation modeling, occurs when the total number of used cells is not equal to the number of rows plus the number of columns minus one. This may occur in an initial solution or in subsequent solutions. A degenerate table cannot be subject to improvement due to lack of entries. Let’s Analyze Weeks 6-7 ULOa 3. Engr.
