Question

sals sporting goods company plans to sell items at a local football staduim. They will sell two items that have the home team’s logo: hats for $12 and shirts for $20. They must pay the stadium $500 for the right to sell merchandise, and they must pay the home team $1.50 for each item with their team’s logo. Production cost $7 and $9 for each shirt. They only have enough space for 200 items. What possible combinations of hats and shirts will create a profit (when income is more than expenses)?

Answer 1

12h + 20t = income

1.5(h + t) + 7h + 9t + 500 = expenses

12h + 20t - 1.5(h + t) + 7h + 9t + 500 > 0
