Explanation:

They certainly have 50 items. The overall profit should be at least $500 (?)

If they would sell only t-shirts , the overall profit would be no more then $500

If they would sell only sweatshirts, the overall profit would be at least $750

Considering x- number of t-shirts sold and y- number of sweatshirts sold then:


500 \leqslant 10 * x + 15 * y


x + y \geqslant 50


y \geqslant x / 2
