A hairstylist charges $15 for an adult haircut and $9 for a child haircut. She wants to earn at least $360 dollars and cut a maximum of 30 haircuts this week. The graphs represent the hairstylist's constraints. 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 number of child haircuts 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 number of adult haircuts List two points that could represent the numbers of adult and child haircuts that meet the hairstylist's goals.

Step 1
This means that the total cost of adult haircuts and child haircuts should be equal to or more than $360. Second, we need to consider the hairstylist's goal of cutting a maximum of 30 haircuts. This means that the total number of adult haircuts and child Show more…

A barber charges $12 per haircut and works Saturday through Thursday. He can perform up to 20 haircuts a day. He currently performs an average of 12 haircuts per day during the weekdays (Monday through Thursday). On Saturdays and Sundays, he does 20 haircuts per day and turns 10 potential customers away each day. These customers all go to the competition. The barber is considering raising his prices on weekends. He estimates that for every $1 he raises his price, he will lose an additional 10% of his customer base (including his turnaways). He estimates that 20% of his remaining weekend customers would move to a weekday in order to save $1, 40% would move to a weekday in order to save $2, and 60% would move to a weekday in order to save $3. Assuming he needs to price in increments of $1, should he charge a differential weekend price? If so, what should the weekend price be? (Assume he continues to charge $12 on weekdays.) How much revenue (if any) would he gain from his policy?

It costs a bakery $\$ 3$ to make a cake and $\$ 4$ to make a pie. If $x$ represents the number of cakes made, and $y$ represents the number of pies made, the graph of $3 x+4 y \leq 120$ shows the possible combinations of cakes and pies that can be produced so that costs do not exceed $\$ 120$ per day. Graph the inequality. Then find three possible combinations of cakes and pies that can be made so that the daily costs are not exceeded.

a. A student earns $\$ 10$ per hour for tutoring and $\$ 7$ per hour as a teacher's aide. Let $x=$ the number of hours each week spent tutoring and $y=$ the number of hours each week spent as a teacher's aide. Write the objective function that models total weekly earnings. b. The student is bound by the following constraints: $\cdot$ To have enough time for studies, the student can work no more than 20 hours a week. $\cdot$ The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend at least three hours a week tutoring. $\cdot$The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend Write a system of three inequalities that models these constraints. no more than eight hours a week tutoring. c. Graph the system of inequalities in part (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because $x$ and $y$ are nonnegative. d. Evaluate the objective function for total weekly earnings at each of the four vertices of the graphed region. [The vertices should occur at $(3,0),(8,0),$ $(3,17), \text { and }(8,12) .]$ e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: The student can earn the maximum amount per week by tutoring for ____ hours per week and working as a teacher’s aide for _____ hours per week. The maximum amount that the student can earn each week is $\$$______.
