Question

Julie is selling candy bars to raise money for new band uniforms. Candy bar X sells for $2 and candy bar Y sells for $3. Julie needs to sell at least three times more Y candy bars than X candy bars. She has at most 36 candy bars to sell. What is the maximum profit she can make?

Answer 1

This looks like a trick question, because she says AT LEAST 3 times as much y bars and x bars. That implies she doesn't have to sell any x bars in the first place. Therefore, her maximum profit is to sell all 36 y bars. 36 times 3=$108<<<her maximum profit
