Astrid is in charge of building a new fleet of ships. Each ship requires 404040 tons of wood, and accommodates 300300300 sailors. She receives a delivery of 444 tons of wood each day. The deliveries can continue for 100100100 days at most, afterwards the weather is too bad to allow them. Overall, she wants to build enough ships to accommodate at least 210021002100 sailors.

To build the fleet of ships, Astrid must consider each of the given rates (i.e.  the daily tons of wood, the sailors per ship, etc.). The available deliveries are enough to build ships that can accommodate at least 2100 sailors.

Given that:

Required quantities

per ship

Available quantities

daily

at most

First, we calculate the total tons of woods Astrid can receive.

---- in 100 days

Next, we calculate the number of ships that can be made from the 400 tons.

So, we have:

This means that Astrid can build up to 10 ships

The number of sailors the ship can accommodate is:

So, we have:

It means the 10 ships can accommodate 3000 sailors.

3000 sailors is greater than 2100 sailors.

So, we can conclude that she can build enough ship for the 2100 sailors.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
