Question

It costs a bicycle company $40 to make each adult bicycle and $30 to make each child's bicycle. The adult bicycle sells for $120, and the child's bicycle sells for $90. The company wants to make a minimum profit of $2,400. If x represents the number of adult bicycles the company sells, and y represents the number of children's bicycles the company sells, which inequality models this situation?

Answer 1

x = $40 to make....sells for $120 so profit is $80

y = $30 to make...sells for $90 so profit is $60

80x + 60y ≥ 2400

Answer 2

Each bicycle gives a profit of around 60 dollars.

2400/60= 40

The store must sell around 40 bicycles every month.
