Answer 1

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

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* 8000+2.5M\leq 6000\\\\4000+2.5M\leq 6000\\\\2.5M\leq 6000-4000\\\\2.5M\leq 2000\\\\M\leq (2000)/(2.5)\\\\M\leq 800`

so, the company can print 800 magazines at most.

Hence, option 'A' is correct.

Answer 2

Option A.

The company can print
`800` magazines at most

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`
