Question

3. A Popsicle company makes three flavors of popsicles. Popsicle A requires 3 oz. of orange flavoring, 2 oz. of mango flavoring, and 1 oz. of peach flavoring. Popsicle B requires 3 oz. of orange flavoring, 1 oz. of mango flavoring, and 2 oz. of peach flavoring. Popsicle C requires 2 oz. of orange flavoring, 1 oz. of mango flavoring, and 2 oz. of peach flavoring. Use Python to determine how many of each Popsicle can be made with 915 oz. of orange flavoring, 465 oz. of mango flavoring, and 525 oz. of peach flavoring?

Explanation / Answer

Suppose, x,y and z units of Popsicle A,B and C are made respectively.

So, 3x + 3y + 2z = 915

2x + y + z = 465

x + 2y + 2z = 525

Python code:

We get the value x =

Thus, 135 units of Popsicle A, 120 units of Popsicle B and 75 units of Popsicle C can be made.
