Problem 1: Linda’s Bakery specializes in ensaymada which costs 20 pesos each and egg tarts

that cost 30 pesos each. Due to the holiday season the owner wanted to maximize her profit
and bake a maximum of 200 ensaymada and egg tart combined. If she has a regular customer
who orders 100 ensaymadas and 50 egg tarts every day, how many ensaymadas and egg tarts
does she need to bake to maximize her profit?

Figure 1: The ensaymada made by Linda’s Bakery Figure 2: The egg tarts Linda’s Bakery produce

1. Set the values of x and y.

x = ensaymada

y = egg pie

2. Write an equation to solve for the maximum profit

P= 20x + 30y
Since x is your ensaymada and it is priced at 20 pesos you express it as 20x and since an
egg tart is sold at 30 pesos a piece you express it as 30x.

3. Identify the restrictions.

x + y ≤ 200 – the owner wanted to bake a maximum of 200 combination of ensaymada

and egg tart

100 ≤ x ≤ 200 – restriction for ensaymada

If you analyse the problem it says that the bakery needs to produce atleast 100
ensaymadas so x should not be less than 100 and not more than 200.

50 ≤ y ≤ 200 – restriction for egg tarts

 The same goes for the egg tarts where the goal is to make not less than 50 of it and not
more than 200 pieces.

4. Create a table to graph the given equations.

x + y ≤ 200
x y
0 200
200 0

5. Substitute corner points in the P equation to get the maximum profit.

(100,100)
P= Php 20(100) + Php 30(100) = Php 5000
(150,50)
P= Php 20(150) + Php 30(50) = Php 4500
(150,50)
P= Php 20(100) + Php 30(50) = Php 3500

Therefore, Linda’s Bakery needs to produce 100 ensaymadas and 100 egg tarts to
maximize its profit.
 Problem 2: The Wheelers Eco bike Company makes two models of eco bike: the single
passenger eco bike and double passenger eco bike. The single passenger bike sells Php
15,000 per unit while the double passenger bike retails for Php24,000 per unit. Each has
the same frame and tires but the assembly and painting for the Single bikes requires
only 1 hour while it takes 2 hours for the Double bikes. There are 220 frames and 300
hours for labour available for production. How many models of each Eco bike should be
produced to maximize revenue?

Figure 1: The single passenger bike Figure 2: The double passenger bike

1. Set the values of x and y.

x = single passenger bike

y = double passenger bike

2. Write an equation to solve for the maximum profit

P= 15000x + 24000y
Since x is your single passenger bike and it is priced at 15000 pesos you express it as
15000x and since the double passenger bike is sold at 24000 pesos per unit you express
it as 24000y.

3. Identify the restrictions.

x + y ≤ 220 – the company wanted to produce not more than 220 bikes of both models
 x + 2y ≤ 300

The S bike requires an hour of labour and the D bike requires two, the hours of labour
must not go over the available 300 hours.

4. Create a table to graph the given equations.

x + y ≤ 220
x y
0 220
220 0

x + 2y ≤ 300
x y
0 150
300 0

5. Substitute corner points in the P equation to get the maximum profit.

(220,0)
P= Php 15,000(220) + Php 24,000(0) = Php 3,300,000
(0,150)
P= Php 15000(150) + Php 24000(50) = Php 3,600,000

(140,80)
P= Php 15000(140) + Php 24000(80) = Php 4,020,000

Therefore Wheelers Eco Bike Company needs to produce 140 single passenger bikes
and 80 double passenger bikes to maximize its profit.

Problem 3: The Paras Clothing Company wants to add handmade bags and wallets to
its product line. Each bag nets the company 1800 pesos in profit, and each wallet nets
1200 pesos. Both bags and wallets require cutting and sewing. Bags require 2 hours of
cutting time and 6 hours of sewing time. Wallets require 3 hours of cutting time and 3
hours of sewing time. If the cutting machine is available 12 hours a week and the sewing
machine is available 18 hours per week, what ratio of bags and wallets will produce the
most profit within the constraints?

Figure 1: handmade bag Figure 2: handmade wallet

1. Set the values of b and w.

b = bags
w = wallet
2. Write an equation to solve for the maximum profit
P= 1800b + 1200w
Since b is your bags and it is priced at 1800 pesos you express it as 1800b and since a
wallet is priced at 1200 pesos you express it as 1200w.

3. Identify the restrictions.

2b + 3w ≤ 12
6b + 3w ≤ 18
 After analysing the problem it says that the company has 2 hours of cutting time for
bags and 3 hours for wallets and only has 12 hours overall. For sewing time the
company has 6 hours for bags and 3 hours for wallets and only has 18 hours in total.

4. Create a table to graph the given equations.

Bags Wallets Combined

2 3 12
6 3 18
18 12

5. Substitute corner points in the P equation to get the maximum profit.

(0,4)

P= Php 1800(0) + Php 1200(4) = Php 4,800

(1.5,3)

P= Php 1800(1.5) + Php 1200(3) = Php 6,300

(3,0)

P= Php 1800(3) + Php 1200(0) = Php 5,400

Therefore, Paras Clothing Company needs to make 1.5 bags and 3 wallets.

Problem 4: Stabilo Company makes markers at Factory A and Factory B. Factory A needs to
make a minimum of 1000 black markers and red markers while Factory B needs to produce a
minimum of 800 black markers and red markers. Factory A can make 10 black and 5 red
markers in an hour. Factory B can produce 5 black markers and 15 red markers in an hour. It
costs 30 pesos per hour to produce black markers and 35 pesos to produce red markers. How
many hours should be spent on each marker in order to minimize the cost? What is the
minimum cost?

Figure 1: Stabilo black marker Figure 2: Stabilo red marker

1. Set the values of b and r.

b = black ballpens

r = red ballpens

2. Write an equation to solve for the maximum profit

P= 30b + 35r

Since b is your black ballpen and it is priced at 30 pesos you express it as 30b and since a red
ballpen is priced at 35 pesos you express it as 35r.
3. Identify the restrictions.

10b + 5r ≥ 1000 - Factory A produces 10 black markers and 5 red markers in an hour and has to
produce both markers for a minimum of 1000 pieces

5b + 15r ≥ 800 - Factory B produces 5 black markers and 15 red markers in an hour and has to
produce a minimum of 800 of both markers.

4. Create a table to graph the given equations.

Black Red Combined

Marker Marker
(hrs) (hrs)
10 5 1000

30 php 35 php

5.) Substitute corner points in the P equation to get the minimum profit.

(0,200)

P= Php 30(0) + Php 35 (200) = Php 7000

(88,24)
P= Php 30(88) + Php 35 (24) = Php 3480

(160,0)

P= Php 30(160) + Php 35 (0) = Php 7000

Therefore, Stabilo needs to spend 88 hours in making black marker and 24 hours in making
red markers. Minimum cost is 3480 pesos.
