Deliveries An electronics company produces three models of stereo speakers, models A, B, and C, and can deliver them by truck, van, or SUV. A truck holds 2 boxes of model A, 2 of model B, and 3 of model C. A van holds 3 boxes of model A, 4 boxes of model B, and 2 boxes of model C. An SUV holds 3 boxes of model A, 5 boxes of model B, and 1 box of model C.
(a) If 25 boxes of model A, 33 boxes of model B, and 22 boxes of model C are to be delivered, how many vehicles of each type should be used so that all operate at full capacity?
(b) Model C has been discontinued. If 25 boxes of model A and 33 boxes of model B are to be delivered, how many vehicles of each type should be used so that all operate at full capacity?

- Wholesale distribution Ace Electronics, Hi-Fi Stereo, and CD World buy a total of 175 DVD players from the same distributor each month. Because CD World buys 25 more units than the other two stores combined, CD Worlds cost is only 160 per unit. The players cost Hi-Fi 165 each and Ace 170 each. How many players does each retailer buy each month if the distributor receives 28,500 each month from the sale of the players to the three stores?arrow_forward5.
