Answer:
x ≥ 5
y ≥ 10
3x + 2.3y ≥ 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets the number of men's shoes he sells be x and women's shoes be y.
For each men's shoes , he gets a commission of $3 and for each women's shoe, he gets a commission of $2.30 .
He needs to sell atleast 10 women's shoes and 5 men's shoes.
Also he needs to make atleast $60 per week.
x ≥ 5
y ≥ 10
3x + 2.3y ≥ 60
These are are the 3 required inequalities.
Now we will see an example.
If he sells 20 womens shoes and 10 mens shoes , he will meet the requirements.
He will make a total profit = =$76
Step-by-step explanation:
1. making the equation:
shoes = x
shirts = y
175 = x + 3y
x = 4y
2. graph it (I'm using desmos)
the green line is for 175 = x + 3y and the purple one is for x = 4y
3. find the price
x = 4y
175 = 4y + 3y
175 = 7y
y = 175/7 = $25
price of the shirt = $25
x = 4y = 4*25 = $100
price of a pair of shoes = $100
