A sports memorabilia store makes $6 profit on each football it sells and $5.50 profit on each baseball it sells. In a typical month, it sells between 35 and 45 footballs and between 40 and 55 baseballs. The store has no more than 80 footballs and baseballs in stock during the month. What is the maximum profit the store can make from selling footballs and baseballs in a month?

Question

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

so let's say you have x footballs and y baseballs.  Can you write an eq using that?

anonymous · Answer

To find the maximum profit they could make, you would multiply their profit for each ball by 80.

anonymous · Answer

6(80)=?
5.50(80)=?

anonymous · Answer

6(80)=480
5.50(80)440

anonymous · Answer

Yup, and because they want the total profit, add the two totals together.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Idk, but if that is wrong I'll bring up my approach.  I'm not sure which it is

anonymous · Answer

It would be easier if this was multiple choice and the answers made it more clear.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

true

anonymous · Answer

sorry and when I add them that give me 920 and it is multiple choice the choices are $457.50

$460.00

$462.50

$572.50

That too. Especially if you are in the process of writing out the way to solve it. Then that person basically ruined everything you just did.
