Susan wants to make pumpkin bread and zucchini bread for the school bake sale. she has 15 eggs and 16 cups of flour in her pantry. her recipe for one loaf of pumpkin bread uses 2 eggs and 3 cups of flour. her recipe for one loaf of zucchini bread uses 3 eggs and 4 cups of flour. she plans to sell pumpkin bread loaves for $5 each and zucchini bread loaves for $4 each. susan wants to maximize the money raised at the bake sale. let x represent the number of loaves of pumpkin bread and y represent the number of loaves of zucchini bread susan bakes. what is the objective function for the problem?
a. p = 15x + 16y
b. p = 5x + 7y
c. p = 5x + 4y
d. p = 4x + 5y

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of loaves of pumpkin bread baked and number of zucchini bread baked = y

Susan plans to sell pumpkin bread at the rate = $5 each

Price of x loaves = $5x

and zucchini bread loaves at the rate = $y each

Price of y loaves = $4y

Therefore, money raised by selling x loaves of pumpkin bread and y number of zucchini bread loaves will be P = 5x + 4y

Therefore, the objective function for the problem will be

P = 5x + 4y

Option C. is the answer.

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
