A clothing shop sells a particular brand of shirt, which comes in three different sizes, small, medium and large.
Each month the manager of the shop orders x small shirts, y medium shirts and z large shirts. The manager forms constraints on the number of each size of shirts he will have to order. One constraint is that for every 3 medium shirts he will order at least 5 large shirts.
(a) Write down an inequality, with integer coefficients, to model this constraint.
Two further constraints are
x + y + z > 250 and x < 0.2(x + y + z)
(b) Use these two constraints to write down statements, in context, that describe the number of different sizes of shirt the manager will order.
The cost of each small shirt is £6, the cost of each medium shirt is £10 and the cost of each large shirt is £15.
The manager must minimise the total cost of all the shirts he will order.
(c) Write down the objective function.
Initially, the manager decides to order exactly 150 large shirts.
(d) (i) Rewrite the constraints, as simplified inequalities with integer coefficients, in terms of x and y only.
(ii) Represent these constraints on Diagram 1 in the answer book. Hence determine, and label, the feasible region R.
(e) Use the objective line method to find the optimal vertex, V, of the feasible region. You must make your objective line clear and label V.
(f) Write down the number of each size of shirt the manager should order. Calculate the total cost of this order.
Later, the manager decides to order exactly 50 small shirts and exactly 75 medium shirts instead of 150 large shirts.
(g) Find the minimum number of large shirts the manager should order and show that this leads to a lower cost than the cost found in (f).

题目中文翻译
一家服装店销售某个品牌的衬衫，该衬衫有三种不同尺码：小号、中号和大号。
每月店铺经理订购 x 件小号衬衫、y 件中号衬衫和 z 件大号衬衫。经理对每种尺码的衬衫数量形成约束条件。其中一个约束是每订购 3 件中号衬衫，至少要订购 5 件大号衬衫。
(a) 写出一个具有整数系数的不等式来建模此约束。
另外两个约束是
x + y + z > 250 和 x < 0.2(x + y + z)
(b) 使用这两个约束写出在实际背景下描述经理将订购的不同尺码衬衫数量的陈述。
每件小号衬衫的成本为 £6，每件中号衬衫的成本为 £10，每件大号衬衫的成本为 £15。
经理必须最小化他将订购的所有衬衫的总成本。
(c) 写出目标函数。
最初，经理决定恰好订购 150 件大号衬衫。
(d) (i) 将约束改写为仅关于 x 和 y 的简化整数系数不等式。
(ii) 在答案册的 Diagram 1 上表示这些约束。由此确定并标记可行区域 R。
(e) 使用目标线法找到可行区域的最优顶点 V。你必须清楚地画出你的目标线并标记 V。
(f) 写出经理应订购的每种尺码衬衫的数量。计算此订单的总成本。
后来，经理决定改为恰好订购 50 件小号衬衫和 75 件中号衬衫，而不是 150 件大号衬衫。
(g) 求经理应订购的大号衬衫的最少数量，并证明这比 (f) 中找到的成本更低。
