Question #311231

There are two truck kinds available to a transportation company: Type A and Type B. When comparing Type A with Type B, Type A has an overall volume of 20 m3 with equal portions for refrigerated and non-refrigerated stock, while Type B has an overall volume of 40 m3 with equal sections for both types of stock. 3,000 m3 of refrigerated stock and 4 000 m3 of nonrefrigerated goods must be transported by truck. Type A cars cost P30 per kilometer, whereas Type B cars cost P40 per kilometer. In order to keep rental costs to a low, how many of each kind of truck should the grocer rent?

Lets truck type A - xx , truck type B - yy .

Type A has an overall volume of 20 m3 with equal portions for refrigerated (10 m3 ) and non-refrigerated stock (10 m3).

Type B has an overall volume of 40 m3 with equal for refrigerated (20 m3 ) and non-refrigerated stock (20 m3).

3000 m3 of refrigerated stock

10x+20y300010x+20y\geq3000

4 000 m3 of nonrefrigerated stock

10x+20y400010x+20y\geq4000

Type A cars cost P30 per kilometer, Type B cars cost P40 per kilometer.

F(x,y)=30x+40yminF(x,y)=30x+40y\to min

10x+20y300010x+20y4000F(x,y)=30x+40yminx+2y300x+2y400x0,y0,xN,yNx+2y400x+2y=400x0200y2010030x+40y=0x04y03a=(30,40)10x+20y\geq3000\\ 10x+20y\geq4000\\ F(x,y)=30x+40y\to min\\ x+2y\geq300\\ x+2y\geq400\\ x\geq0,y\geq0, x\in N, y\in N\\ x+2y\geq400\\ x+2y=400\\ \begin{matrix} x& 0 &200\\ y& 20&100 \end{matrix}\\ 30x+40y=0\\ \begin{matrix} x& 0 &4\\ y& 0&-3 \end{matrix}\\ \vec{a}=(30,40)

In parallel, transfer the line 30x+40y=030x+40y=0 in the direction of the vector a=(30,40)\vec{a}=(30,40) . We are looking for a point of intersection with a straight line x+20y=400x+20y=400


We have a point (109.91, 145,455), xN,yN    x\in N, y\in N\implies x=110,y=146x=110, y=146
