A construction firm employs two levels of the tile installers: craftsmen and apprentices. Craftsmen install 500 square ft. of specialty tile, 100 square feet of plain tile and 100 linear ft of trim in one day. Apprentices install 100 square feet of specialty tile, 200 square feet of plain tile and 100 linear feet of trim in one day.
The firm has a one day job that requires 200 square feet of specialty tile, 1600 square feet of plain tile and 1200 linear feet of trim, The construction firm pays craftsmen $200 per day and pays apprentices $120 perday.
1.How many craftsmen and apprentices should be assigned this job so that it can be completed in one day with the minimum labor cost?
2.What's the minimum labor cost?
3. write 5 linear inequalities to represent the constraints. (remember x is greater than or equal to 0 and y is greater than or equal to 0)
4. State how many craftsmen and how many laborers are required for the min cost.
I'm not exactly sure about the inequalities like how to write them from this equation. so please help and thank you :]
