Formulate mathematical relationships for a scenario involving taxis and Costa buses, considering cost and quantity constraints.

Mathematics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Let xx be the number of taxis and yy be the number of Costa buses.

The mathematical relationships representing the situation are:

  1. Number of taxis vs. Costa buses: The number of taxis is greater than the number of Costa buses.

    x>yx > y
  2. Maximum number of taxis: The number of taxis will be less than five.

    x<5x < 5
  3. Total transport cost: The cost of hiring a taxi is Ugx 60,000, and a Costa bus is Ugx 100,000. The maximum available budget is Ugx 600,000.

    60,000x+100,000y≤600,00060,000x + 100,000y \le 600,000

    Dividing by 10,000:

    6x+10y≤606x + 10y \le 60

    Dividing by 2:

    3x+5y≤303x + 5y \le 30
  4. Non-negative integer constraints: The number of taxis and Costa buses must be whole numbers and cannot be negative.

    x∈Z,y∈Zx \in \mathbb{Z}, y \in \mathbb{Z} x≥0,y≥0x \ge 0, y \ge 0

    Given x>yx > y and x<5x < 5, it implies xx must be at least 1. So, x∈{1,2,3,4}x \in \{1, 2, 3, 4\} and y∈{0,1,2,3}y \in \{0, 1, 2, 3\}.

The mathematical relationships are:

x>y\boxed{x > y} x<5\boxed{x < 5} 3x+5y≤30\boxed{3x + 5y \le 30} x,y are non-negative integers\boxed{x, y \text{ are non-negative integers}}
