C is the only combination that satisfies all the constraints: it earns him more than $800 and is less than 120 plates.
The combination of 40 plates of garlic shrimp was sold, and 80 plates of spicy shrimp were sold can Pedro sell to meet his goal.
Given that,
Pedro owns a shrimp truck near the beach.
He sells garlic shrimp for $8 a plate and spicy shrimp for $6 a plate.
Each day Pedro stocks enough shrimp to sell at most 120 plates total, but he would like to earn at least $800.
We have to determine,
Which combination of garlic shrimp plates and spicy shrimp plates can Pedro sell to meet his goal?
According to the question,
Let the x plates of garlic shrimp sold,
And y plates of spicy shrimp sold.
Each day Pedro stocks enough shrimp to sell at most 120 plates,
Then,
Plates of garlic shrimp + Plates of spicy shrimp = Total number of shrimp sell each day.
[tex]\rm x + y =120[/tex]
And He sells garlic shrimp for $8 a plate and spicy shrimp for $6 a plate.
He would like to earn at least $800.
Then,
Cost of garlic shrimp per plate + Cost of spicy shrimp per plate = Total earning,
[tex]\rm 8x + 6y = 800[/tex]
On solving both the equation,
[tex]\rm x+y = 120\\\\8x + 6y = 800[/tex]
From equation 1,
[tex]\rm y= 120-x[/tex]
Substitute the value of x in equation 2,
[tex]\rm 8x +6y = 800\\\\8(120-y) + 6y = 800\\\\960 - 8y + 6y = 800\\\\-2y = 800-960\\\\-2y = -160\\\\y = \dfrac{-160}{-2}\\\\y = 80[/tex]
Substitute the value of y in equation 1,
[tex]\rm x + y =120\\\\x +80=120\\\\x = 120-80\\\\x =40[/tex]
Hence, The combination of 40 plates of garlic shrimp was sold, and 80 plates of spicy shrimp were sold can Pedro sell to meet his goal.
