Summary

Complete teacher reference for the cookie bakery linear optimization workshop, with verified solutions and Excel Solver setup guide.

Changes

New file: \content/english/supply-chain-analytics/answer-key.md\

Optimization formulation

  • Decision variables, objective function, and 3 constraints (eggs, flour, sugar)
  • Mathematical notation with kid-friendly explanations

Main problem solution

  • Optimal: 5 chocolate chip + 3 sugar cookie batches = \ maximum profit
  • Constraint verification table showing flour is the binding constraint
  • Teacher tip on binding constraints and slack

Excel Solver setup

  • Complete Solver dialog configuration table (objective, variables, constraints, integer, method)
  • Excel formula reference for all cells
  • Common pitfalls (Non-Negative checkbox, integer constraints)

Extra challenge (egg shortage)

  • Optimal: 1 chocolate chip + 6 sugar cookie batches = \ profit
  • Profit decreased by ; eggs become the binding constraint
  • Discussion prompts about supply chain disruptions

Teacher resources

  • Key concepts summary table (6 optimization concepts mapped to bakery examples)
  • Common student Q&A (3 questions)

Languages affected

  • English (primary)
  • Brazilian Portuguese and Korean translations exist (math/Excel is language-agnostic). Answer keys for these languages added to backlog.

Notes

  • All calculations verified against \Cookie_Bakery_Optimization_Answers.xlsx\
  • File uses kebab-case (\�nswer-key.md) per answer key convention, while other workshop files use PascalCase
  • Weight 15 chosen to sort after Challenge (weight 5) with room for future pages
  • Pre-existing: duplicate space-named Excel files in directory (backlog item, not in this PR scope)

Testing

  • Hugo build passes
  • All language versions checked (EN primary; PT-BR, KO use same math)
  • 10-model QA passed (3 clean convergence passes)
  • All arithmetic verified against Excel answer file
  • Follows answer key format (hidden: true, weight: 15)

Complete teacher reference for the cookie bakery optimization workshop:
- Full optimization formulation (decision variables, objective function, constraints)
- Main problem solution: 5 chocolate chip + 3 sugar =  max profit
- Excel Solver setup guide with integer constraint
- Extra challenge solution (eggs 24->15): 1 CC + 6 sugar =
- Constraint verification tables with slack analysis
- Key concepts summary and common student Q&A

All calculations verified against Cookie_Bakery_Optimization_Answers.xlsx.
