He sells x pairs of women’s shoes and y pairs of men’s shoes each week and earns a total income of $2,500. This situation can be represented by the equation . If Bill has no female customers during a particular week, he needs to sell pairs of men’s shoes to earn his weekly income of $2,500.

Answer 1

Hello,


Let's
x pairs of women’s shoes sold
y pairs of men’s shoes sold
R(x,y)=45*x+50y=2500 (each week)

Or the week, =0 =>50*y=2500=>y=500.
