A Saskatchewan farmer is planting corn and barley. • He wants to plant
no more than 800 ha altogether. • The farmer wants at least four times as many hectares of
barley as corn. • The yield per hectare of corn averages 60 bushels, and the yield per
hectare of barley averages 30 bushels. • Corn pays the farmer $7 per bushel, and barley pays
$4 per bushel. Let b represent the number of hectares of barley. Let c represent
the number of hectares of corn. Describe any restrictions on the variables.

For every quilt that is sold at a fundraising banquet, $90 goes to charity. For
every ticket that is sold, $65 goes to charity. The organizers’ goal is to raise at least
$7000. The organizers need to know how many quilts and tickets must be sold to meet their
goal. a) Define the variables and write a linear inequality to represent the
situation. b) Graph the linear inequality to help you determine whether each of the
following points is in the solution set. The first coordinate is the number of quilts and the second
is the number of tickets. i) (40, 50) ii) (10,
100) iii) (20, 75)

A refinery produces oil and gas. • At least 3.5 L of gasoline are
produced for each litre of heating oil. • The refinery can produce up to 10 million litres
of heating oil and 8 million litres of gasoline each day. • Gasoline is projected to sell
for $1.15 per litre. Heating oil is projected to sell for $1.85 per litre. The company needs to
determine the daily combination of gas and heating oil that must be produced to maximize revenue.
Create a model to determine this combination. What would the revenue be? Optimization
Model
Let g represent the number of millions of litres of gasoline. Let h
represent the number of millions of litres of heating oil. Let R represent the total
revenue from sales in millions of dollars. Restrictions: g Î R, h Î R Constraints: g
 0 h 
0 g  3.5 hg  8 h  10 Objective function to
maximize: R = 1.15 g + 1.85 h
