Resource Allocation You manage an ice cream factory that makes two flavors: Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha. Into each quart of Creamy Vanilla go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream. Into each quart of Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream. You have in stock 500 eggs and 900 cups ofcream. How many quarts of each flavor should you make in order to use up all the eggs and cream?

in order to use up all the eggs and cream, the number of quarts of each flavor that should be made is;

Creamy vanilla x = 200 quarts

Continental mocha y = 100 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and Continental Mocha that should be made in order to use up all the eggs and cream respectively.

For Creamy Vanilla go 2 eggs and 3 cups of cream

For Continental Mocha go 1 egg and 3 cups of cream.

Total number of eggs = 500 eggs

Total number of cream cups = 900 cups.

For the eggs;

2 eggs × x + 1 egg × y = 500

2x + y = 500 1

For the cream cups;

3 cups × x + 3 cups × y = 900

3x + 3y = 900

Dividing through by 3

x + y = 300 2

Solving the simultaneous equation;

Subtracting equation 2 from 1

(2x + y) - (x+y) = 500-300

2x -x = 200

x = 200

Substituting x = 200 into equation 2;

200 + y = 300

y = 300 - 200

y = 100

Therefore, in order to use up all the eggs and cream, the number of quarts of each flavor that should be made is;

Creamy vanilla x = 200 quarts

Continental mocha y = 100 quarts
