A company makes calculators, has plants in the cities of Walton and Exton. In Walton, fixed costs are $8800 a month, and Exton's are $7000. Fabrication price for Walton stands at $6, and for Exton at $7.50. Next month, the company has to fabricate 1,500 calculators. How many should be made at each plant so that the total costs are the same?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Cost in Walton = 8800 + 6x
Cost in Exton = 7000 + 7.5y

x+y=1500

Both costs must be equal:
8800+6x = 7000+7.5y

Solve for x and y now.
