11 During the last FA Cup Final, Coffee Shops A, B and C attracted more customers by
providing live telecasts of matches on cable television. The average number of orders for
soft drinks, beer and coffee for a match day are as follows:
The price per can of soft drinks is $1.80, per bottle of beer is $6.00 and per cup of coffee is
$1.50.
P is a 3 × 3 matrix to represent the number of soft drinks, beer and coffee sold by the 3
coffee shops and Q is a 3 × 1 matrix to represent the cost of soft drinks, beer and coffee sold
by the 3 coffee shops.
