Homemade toys manufactures solid pine trucks and cars and ususally sells 4 times as many trucks as cars. the net profit from each truck is $6 and from each car is $5. if the company wants a total profit of $29,000, how many trucks and cars should they sell?

Question

anonymous · Answer

let x be the number of trucks and y the number of cars.
Since for times as many trucks are sold as cars, 4y=x
Also, you know 29000=5y+6x
If you put the 2 equations together you get 29000= 5y + 6(4y)
29000=5y+24y=29y
y= 1000
