Answer

the maximum value of weekly profit is\[\$35,000\], and the number of jet skis will be 50.

Work Step by Step

Step I: From the given constraints, draw all the lines and their region. In the first constraints: \[x\ge 0\], it is the region where x takes only positive values. In the second constraints: \[y\ge 0\], it is the region where y takes only positive values. In the third constraints: \[x+y\le 150\]. Draw first, \[x+y=150\]. It is the line with \[\begin{align} & x-\text{intercept}=150 \\ & y-\text{intercept}=150 \\ \end{align}\] Now, put \[x=0,\text{ and }y=0\]. Which gives, \[0\le 150\], which is true, it means region contains the origin. In the fourth constraints: \[x\le 50\], it is the region where xcantake only50 or less than 50. In the fifthconstraints: \[y\le 75\], it is the region where ycan take only 75 or less than 75. Step II: The corner values are: \[A\left( 50,75 \right),\text{ }B\left( 50,100 \right),\text{ and }C\left( 75,75 \right)\] Step III: The value of the objective function at a point\[A\left( 50,75 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=200\times 50+250\times 75 \\ & =28,750 \end{align}\] The value of the objective function at a point\[B\left( 50,100 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=200\times 50+250\times 100 \\ & =35,000 \end{align}\] The value of the objective function at a point\[C\left( 75,75 \right)\]is: \[\begin{align} & z=200\times 75+250\times 75 \\ & =33,750 \end{align}\] Therefore, the maximum value of weekly profit is\[\$35,000\], and the number of jet skis will be 50.
