15) Linda invests $25,000 for one year. Part is invested at 5%, another part at 6%, and the rest at 8%. The total
income from all 3 investments is $1600. The income from the 5% and 6% investments is the same as the income
from the 8% investment. Find the amount invested at each rate.

16) Jane wants to buy a photocopier. The salesperson has the following information on three models. If all three are
used, a specific job is completed in 50 minutes. If copier A operates for 20 minutes and copier B operates for 50
minutes, one-half of the job is completed. If copier B operates for 30 minutes and copier C operates for 80
minutes, three-fifths of the job is completed. Which is the fastest copier, and how long does it take this copier to
complete the entire job working alone?

17) Janet is planning to visit Arizona, New Mexico, and California on a 16-day vacation. If she plans to spend as
much time in New Mexico as she does in the other two states combined, how can she allot her time in the three
states? (Let x denote the number of days in Arizona, y the number of days in New Mexico, and z the number of
days in California. Let z be the parameter.)

38) Suppose the following matrix represents the input-output matrix of a simplified economy that involves just
three commodity categories: manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation. How many units of each
commodity should be produced to satisfy a demand of 900 units for each commodity?

Mfg Agri Trans

Mfg 0 1/4 1/3
Agri 1/2 0 1/4
Trans 1/4 1/4 0

39) The input-output matrix for an economy is given below.

Agri. Mfg.
Agri. 0.04 0.18
Mfg. 0.02 0.22

The demand matrix is

D= 700
1000

Find the amount of each commodity that should be produced.

40) A simplified economy is based on agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation. Each unit of agricultural
output requires 0.3 unit of its own output, 0.5 of manufacturing, and 0.2 unit of transportation output. Each unit
of manufacturing output requires 0.3 unit of its own output, 0.1 of agricultural, and 0.4 unit of transportation
output. Each unit of transportation output requires 0.4 unit of its own output, 0.2 of agricultural, and 0.1 of
manufacturing output. There is demand for 35 units of agricultural, 90 units of manufacturing, and 10 units of
transportation output. How many units should each segment of the economy produce?
