This should be what you need, sorry for the wonky lines.
The answer is 3 blocks per minute, because 30 divided 10 = 3.
Answer:
P + M = 30
700P + 200M = 15000
Number of laser printers = 18
Number of color monitors = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P = number of laser printers
Let M = number of color monitors
Given total number of boxes = 30
⇒ P + M = 30
Given:
- $700 = cost of laser printer
- $200 = cost of color monitor
- $15000 = total cost of order
⇒ 700P + 200M = 15000
Rewrite P + M = 30 to make P the subject:
⇒ P = 30 - M
Substitute into 700P + 200M = 15000 and solve for M:
⇒ 700(30 - M) + 200M = 15000
⇒ 21000 - 700M + 200M = 15000
⇒ 500M = 6000
⇒ M = 12
Substitute found value for M into P = 30 - M and solve for P:
⇒ P = 30 - 12 = 18
