Analysis of Orders The Bread Box Bakery sells three types of cakes, each requiring the amounts of the basic ingredients shown in the following matrix. Type of Cake I II III Flour (in cups) [ 2 4 2] Sugar (in cups) [2 1 2 ] Eggs [2 1 3]
To fill its daily orders for these three kinds of cake, the bakery
uses 72 cups of four, 48 cups of sugar, and 60 eggs.
(a) Write a 3 by1 matrix for the amounts used daily.
(b) Let the number of daily orders for cakes be a 3by1 matrix
X with entries x1
, x2 , and x3 . Write a matrix equation that
can be solved for X, using the given matrix and the matrix
from part (a).
(c) Solve the equation from part (b) to find the number of
daily orders for each type of cake. show detail work for all
