AS OCR MEI B Further Maths Modelling With Algorithms

Guaranteed nobody does this but if any other soul does

HOW WAS IT? I FOUND THAT SO GOOD

I did it! Found it ok on the whole, what were your answers for the 10 marker at the end? I got x=22, y= 50, z=55, £850
Much better than pure anyway 💀

Yeah I imagine so, it’s probably based on ur graph so there would be some leniency

i got x= 14, y= 50 and z= 36, then the reason why he might not be able to use the optimal solution is because it exceeds the time limit of less than or equal to 100 hours

Was x and z not in the ratio 2:5??

yeah it was, i put 5x = 2z meaning z = 5/2x

if you substitute x = 2 into that, you get z = 5, which puts x and z in the ratio 2:5

i think most people put z = 2/5x, from what i’ve heard at least. but substituting x = 2 gives z = 4/5, which a) is not in the ratio of 2:5 and b) you can’t have a fraction of a shirt.
