A small toy company makes only cars and trucks. The profit made on cars is $2 each and the profit made on trucks is $3 each. To
stay in business, the company must make at least $500 profit each week. The company only has the resources to make up 200 total cars and trucks each week.
A toy company needs to profit at least $500 from selling cars and trucks. A car can make a profit $2 while the truck can $3 profit. let x be the number of cars let y be the number of truck If 200 resources for the car per week, we have: Profit = $2x + $3y $500 = $2*200 + $3*y $500 - $400 = $3y 100 = 3y y =100/3 = 33.33
The number of trucks needs to produce per week is at least 34 pieces.
