The scatterplot below shows the number of coupons that are used at the grocery store and amount of money that is saved. A graph titled Coupon Use and money saved has number of coupons used on the x-axis, and coupon savings (dollars) on the y-axis. Points are grouped together and increase. Which statement about the scatterplot is true? As coupon use decreases, the amount of savings increases. As coupon use increases, the amount of savings increases. Regardless of high coupon use, the amount of savings remains low. Regardless of high savings, coupons use remains low.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i. e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
