A) 3.5a +3.5b ≥ 128.09 B) Total profit: $158.91
1) Gathering the data
$65.25 ingredients for blueberry pies
$62.84 cherry pie
Each slice
3.50
A) Since Cindy's profit relies on her sales we can write
b = slices of blueberry
c = cherry pie slices
3.50b +3.50a ≥ 65.25+62.84
3.5a +3.5b ≥ 128.09
B) Gathering those data and adding the number of slices that were sold:
1st day
b= 24
a =15
2nd day
b=26
a=17
Plug into that:
Profit: 3.5(15+17) + 3.5(24+26)
P =287
$287 was the total revenue
Cherry pie cost of production 62.84
3.5(15+17)=112
Profit = 112 -62.84
Profit = $49.16
Blueberry cost of production: $65.25
3.5(24+26) =175
175 - 65.25 =109.75
Profit $ 109.75
Total profit: $158.91
