A company manufactures three types of luggage: economy, standard, and deluxe. The
company produces 1000 pieces each month. The cost for making each type of luggage is
$20 for the economy model, $30 for the standard model, and $40 for the deluxe model.
The manufacturer has a budget of $25,700. Each economy piece requires 6 hours of
labor, the standard model requires 8 hours of labor and the deluxe requires 12 hours of
labor. The manufacturer has a total of 7400 hours of labor available each month. If the
manufacturer sells all of the luggage produced, exhausts his entire budget and uses all
available hours of labor, how many pieces of each can be produced?
a) Write the system of equations for this information. Identify variables.
b) Write the augmented matrix for this information.
c) Solve using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. Label each answer.
