3.) Lynn Pike, a pharmacist, needs 70 liters of a 50% alcohol solution. She has available
a 30% alcohol solution and an 80% alcohol solution. How many liters of each solution
should she mix to obtain 70 liters of a 50% alcohol solution?
4.) A manufacturing company recently purchased $3000 worth of new equipment to offer
new personalized stationery to its customers. The cost of producing a package of
personalized stationery is $3, and it is sold for $5.50. Find the number of packages that
must be sold for the company to break even.
5.) Ruth has $50,000 that she will invest in B-rated bonds and certificate of deposit(CD).
The B-rated bonds pay 15% interest per year and the CD is 7% interest. How much
money should she invest in each to earn $6000 after one year?

"( A furniture manufacturer makes wooden tables and chairs. The production process
involves two basic types of labor: carpentry and finishing. Make a table requires 2 hours
of carpentry and 1 hour of finishing. whereas making a chair requires 3 hours of
carpentry and "# hour of finishing. The profit is $35 per table and $20 per chair. The
manufacturer's employees can supply of 108 hours of carpentry work and 20 hours of
finishing work per day. How many tables and chairs should be made each day to
maximize the profit?
18.) A manufacturer makes two types of jet skis, regular and deluxe. The profit on a
regular jet ski is $200 and the profit on the deluxe model is $250. To meet customer
demand, the company must manufacture at least 50 regular jet skis per week and at least
75 deluxe models. To maintain high quality, the total number of both models of jet skis
manufactured by the company should not exceed 150 per week. How many jet skis of
each type should be manufactured per week to obtain maximum profit? What is the
maximum weekly profit?
