Hello there, I need some help for this very easy and fun BUS 311 (Data Analysis and Decision Modeling) activities

So I will provide you with my Pearson.com account and you will work on 2 topics containing 2 questions each.
NOTE- THE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO BE THE SAME AS THE ONES I AM COPYING AT PASTING BELOW, BUT THE NUMBERS MIGHT SLIGHTLY CHANGE, SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO WAIT UNTIL I PROVIDE YOU WITH MY PEARSON ACCOUNT INFO SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOG IN AND START WORKING ON THE QUESTIONS. YOU WILL HAVE UNLIMITED ATTEMPTS AS WELL, SO JUST KEEP TRYING UNTIL YOU GET THEM RIGHT PLEASE.
First,
TRANSPORTATION HOMEWORK
1.
Kelly Foods has two plants and ships canned vegetables to customers in four cities. The cost of shipping one case from a plant to a customer is given in the accompanying table. The plant in Akron has a capacity of 3,600
cases per week, and the Evansville plant can produce
4,200
cases per week. Customer orders for the next week are as follows: Chicago:
1,300
cases; Cincinnati:
2,000
cases; Indianapolis:
2,500
cases; Pittsburgh:
1,400
cases. Find the minimum-cost shipping plan.

A company has four distribution centers, located in Atlanta, Lexington, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City, and ships to 12 retail stores, located in Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Tucson, Denver, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Fayetteville, Birmingham, Orlando, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. The company wants to minimize the transportation costs of shipping one of its products. The per-unit shipping cost from each distribution center to each retail location and the amounts currently in inventory and ordered at each retail location are shown in the accompanying table. Develop and solve an optimization model to minimize the total transportation cost and answer parts a and b.

LP HOMEWORK
1. (THERE WILL BE A PART 2 DISPLAYING FOR THIS ONE AFTER YOU´RE DONE WITH THE FOLLOWING 1ST PART)
A business student has just completed a course, which had a midterm exam, a final exam, individual assignments, and a class participation grade. She earned a 91%
on the midterm,
83%
on the final,
93%
on the individual assignments, and
87%
on participation. The instructor is allowing students to determine their own weights for each of the four grade components, with the accompanying restrictions. Complete parts a and b.

Part 1Holcomb Candles, Inc., manufactures decorative candles and has contracted with a national retailer to supply a set of special holiday candles to its 8,500 stores. These include large jars, small jars, large pillars, small pillars, and a package of four votive candles. In negotiating the contract for the display, the manufacturer and retailer agreed that 8 feet would be designated for the display in each store, but that at least 2 feet would be dedicated to large jars and large pillars together, and at least 1 foot to the votive candle packages. At least as many jars as pillars must be provided. The manufacturer has obtained 225,000 pounds of wax,
225,000
feet of wick, and
100,000
ounces of holiday fragrance. The amount of materials and display size required for each product are shown in the accompanying table. How many of each product should be made to maximize the profit?
