Question

The owners of a pet store plan to purchase some hamsters and some rabbits. They decide to spend at least $100 and purchase at least eight animals. Each hamster costs $5 and each rabbit costs $25. Suppose that it costs 13¢ per day to feed each hamster and 30¢ per day to feed each rabbit. If daily feeding costs are to be help to a minimum, how many hamster and rabbits should be purchased?

 

Please include solving steps, thank you!

Answer 1

h + r >/= 8

c=5h +25r

c=.13h +.3r

buy 8 hamsters, 0 rabbits

that costs $40 +$1.04 for one day =$41.04

$42.08 two days = $21.04 per day

(40+1.04d/= $1.04 +40/d per day for d days

$2.04 per day for 40 days

rabbits cost more to buy and more to feed, buy only hamsters

and with $100 mimimum budget, buy at least 20 hamsters and as many more as possible
