Your electronics store sells two types of portable CD players. The first type, A, costs $70 and you make a $25 profit on each one. The second type, B, Costs $60 and you make a $20 profit on each one. You expect to sell at least 50 players this month and you need to make at least $1100 profit on them. You must order at least one of each type of player. How many of each type of player should you order to minimize your cost?
Smart idea. I didn't know you had already posted your question.
Cost Equation C(a,b) = 70a + 60b Profit Equation P(a,b) = 25a + 20b
Amount Equation a + b = 50
that all answer ??
x >= 0 y >= 0 x+y >= 50
Expected sales a + b ≥ 50 Expected Profit 25a + 20b ≥ 1100
oh
You still have to find a and b
how? my math is not good and i not smart about math too
By solving it step by step.
how about cost
You only need two equations to set up a system
a + b ≥ 50 is formal right??
The variables you use don't matter
25a + 20b ≥ 1100 70a + 60b ≥ 1100
Bro, why are you making up equations?
wait i not finish
a ≥ 1 b ≥ 1 a + b ≥ 50 25a + 20b ≥ 1100
a + b ≥ 50 25a + 20b ≥ 1100 Multiply the first equation by 25 25a + 25b ≥ 1250 Subtract the two equations 25a + 25b ≥ 1250 25a + 20b ≥ 1100 5b ≥ 150 b ≥ 150/5 b ≥ 30 a ≥ 20
thank you so much
