A group of college students are starting a small business called Custom Tech. They make customized cell phone and tablet cases. Their profits are $40 for the cell phone case and$60 for the tablet case. The process involves both design hours and manufacturing hours. It takes 0.5 hour to design and 0.3 hour to manufacture a customized phone case. It takes 0.4 hour to design and 0.4 hour to manufacture a customized tablet case. Since the design part is completed by students attending school, they can allocate no more than 100 hours per day for design. They are sharing a single manufacturing machine with another company and only have 8 hours per day to use it. Let x represent the number of customized cell phone cases and y represent the number of customized tablet cases. Write the manufacturing constraint inequality.
Solution
VerifiedLet:
x = number of cell phone cases
y = number of tablet cases
Identify the variables:
Number of hours to manufacture cell phone case = 0.3
Number of hours to manufacture tablet case = 0.4
Maximum number of hours per day to manufacture = 8
Write the manufacturing constraint inequality:
0.3x + 0.4y 100, x 0 and y 0
The total number of hours (0.3x + 0.4y) to manufacture the cell phone and tablet cases per day should not be greater than 8. Of course, the number of cell phone and tablet cases should not be negative. Thus, x 0 and y 0.
Answer: 0.3x + 0.4y $\leq$8, x 0 and y 0
