Answer 1

Answer:

Option A.  

The company can print $800$ magazines at most

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

N------> the number of newspapers

M------> the number of magazines

we know that

$0.5N+2.5M\leq 6,000$

For $N=8,000$

Substitute the value of N in the inequality and solve for M

so

$0.5(8,000)+2.5M\leq 6,000$

$4,000+2.5M\leq 6,000$

$2.5M\leq 6,000-4,000$

$2.5M\leq 2,000$

$M\leq 800\ magazines$

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

0.5N+ 2.5M ≤ 6000

Number of newspaper sold = 8000

We need to find the possible number of magazines that to be sold.

Put the value of N = 8000.

So, we get that

$0.5\times 8000+2.5M\leq 6000\\\\4000+2.5M\leq 6000\\\\2.5M\leq 6000-4000\\\\2.5M\leq 2000\\\\M\leq \dfrac{2000}{2.5}\\\\M\leq 800$

so, the company can print 800 magazines at most.

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
