*******THIS IS A MATH PROBLEM NOT PROGRAMMING*******

Machine A can produce 30 steering wheels per hour at a cost of 16$ per hour.

Machine B can produce 40 steering wheels per hour at a cost of 22$ per hour.

A total of at least 360 steering wheels must be made in each 8 hour shift. What is the least cost needed to make 360 steering wheels in one shift.

If anyone can help me, It would be appreciated. What I need is the constraints. I can do the rest but theres so much info I cant find the constraints.

Ahh... 8th grade math.. Feels like yesterday.. Not 3 years ago.. Anways

Just start dividing shit.. That's what I would do.

Ha ha, Nice try, but thats some very very very very basic trig. advanced 9th grade math.

Well damn, your school district isn't very demanding.. Here.. try my homework (I'm in a vocational school taking computer information tech by the way):
Find V of R1 R2 and R3, V total, R total, I total, IR1 IR2 IR3 and Power of each resistor in watts of a parallel circuit with resistors of 400 ohms and 650 ohms, with a given ampurage of 16mA going to R1.

that's what I'm having problems with right now..

If I can somehow manage to find my notes from 11th grade Physics I can answer that for you, but it would be oh so much faster to just google the answer.

Simple stuff..

Machine A produces 1 unit for 5.33333 cents.
Machine B produces 1 unit for 5.5 cents.

Naturally, you want to produce as much steering wheels as possible with Machine A.
Therefore, run Machine A for 8 hours a shift to maximize Machine A usage.

30 * 8 = 240 units

360 - 240 = 120 units left to produce with Machine B.

120 / 40 = 3, or the number of hours you need to run Machine B to meet your minimum quota.

Now that you know the hours you need to run each unit, it's simple!

8(A) + 3(B) = operating costs for 360 units.

Ergo: 8 * 16 + 3 * 22 = 128 + 66 = $194 per shift to produce 360 units.

Happy day.

I got the same answer: 30x8 hours, 40x3 hours.
