Part a· 1 step

Let xx be the number of dining chairs and yy be the number of garden chairs.

  1. Translate the given conditions into inequalities.

    • "at least 10 dining chairs":
    x≥10x \ge 10
    • "at least 20 garden chairs":
    y≥20y \ge 20
    • "not more than 80 chairs altogether":
    x+y≤80x + y \le 80
    • "number of garden chairs must not be more than three times the number of dining chairs":
    y≤3xy \le 3x

    The four inequalities are:

    x≥10\boxed{x \ge 10} y≥20\boxed{y \ge 20} x+y≤80\boxed{x + y \le 80} y≤3x\boxed{y \le 3x}

Part b· 5 steps

To draw the graph and shade the unwanted region:

  1. Draw the x and y axes.

    Label the x-axis as "Number of Dining Chairs" and the y-axis as "Number of Garden Chairs".

  2. Apply the scale

    2cm represents 10 chairs on both axes. This means that for every 2cm interval, mark 10, 20, 30, ..., up to 80.

  3. Draw the boundary lines for each inequality

    • For x≥10x \ge 10, draw the vertical line x=10x = 10.
    • For y≥20y \ge 20, draw the horizontal line y=20y = 20.
    • For x+y≤80x + y \le 80, draw the line x+y=80x + y = 80. This line passes through (80,0)(80, 0) and (0,80)(0, 80).
    • For y≤3xy \le 3x, draw the line y=3xy = 3x. This line passes through (0,0)(0, 0), (10,30)(10, 30), (20,60)(20, 60), etc.
  4. Identify the feasible region (the region satisfying all inequalities).

    • x≥10x \ge 10: The region to the right of x=10x = 10.
    • y≥20y \ge 20: The region above y=20y = 20.
    • x+y≤80x + y \le 80: The region below the line x+y=80x + y = 80.
    • y≤3xy \le 3x: The region below the line y=3xy = 3x.
  5. Shade the unwanted region.

    This means shading the areas that do not satisfy the inequalities.

    • Shade the region to the left of x=10x = 10.
    • Shade the region below y=20y = 20.
    • Shade the region above x+y=80x + y = 80.
    • Shade the region above y=3xy = 3x. The unshaded region will be the feasible region, which is a polygon with vertices at the intersections of these lines. The vertices of the feasible region are:
    • Intersection of x=10x=10 and y=20y=20: (10,20)(10, 20)
    • Intersection of x=10x=10 and y=3xy=3x: (10,30)(10, 30)
    • Intersection of y=3xy=3x and x+y=80x+y=80: x+3x=80  ⟹  4x=80  ⟹  x=20x+3x=80 \implies 4x=80 \implies x=20. Then y=3(20)=60y=3(20)=60. So, (20,60)(20, 60)
    • Intersection of y=20y=20 and x+y=80x+y=80: x+20=80  ⟹  x=60x+20=80 \implies x=60. So, (60,20)(60, 20)

Part c· 3 steps

  1. Define the profit function.

    Profit on a dining chair = K80.00
    Profit on a garden chair = K50.00
    The total profit PP is given by:

    P=80x+50yP = 80x + 50y
  2. Evaluate the profit function at each vertex of the feasible region to find the maximum profit.

    • At (10,20)(10, 20): P=80(10)+50(20)=800+1000=1800P = 80(10) + 50(20) = 800 + 1000 = 1800
    • At (10,30)(10, 30): P=80(10)+50(30)=800+1500=2300P = 80(10) + 50(30) = 800 + 1500 = 2300
    • At (20,60)(20, 60): P=80(20)+50(60)=1600+3000=4600P = 80(20) + 50(60) = 1600 + 3000 = 4600
    • At (60,20)(60, 20): P=80(60)+50(20)=4800+1000=5800P = 80(60) + 50(20) = 4800 + 1000 = 5800
  3. Identify the combination of chairs that yields the maximum profit.

    The maximum profit occurs at (60,20)(60, 20).
    Mipando should make 60 dining chairs and 20 garden chairs\boxed{60 \text{ dining chairs and } 20 \text{ garden chairs}}.

Part d· 1 step

  1. State the maximum profit found in Part (c).

    The maximum profit is the highest value calculated from the vertices.
    The maximum profit is K5800.00\boxed{\text{K}5800.00}.
