Question

An electronics store makes a profit of 48 for every television sold and 60 for every computer sold the manager target is to make at least 240ns what are three possible solutions to the problem

Answer 1

1)On selling 4 computers, the target is matched.

2)By selling 5 televisions, the target is matched.

3) Selling 3 televisions and 3 computers, the target is matched.

Explanation:

The profit on each television sold = 48

The profit on every computer sold = 60

Now, the targeted profit is ≥240

(1) As, the profit on each computer = 60

⇒The profit on selling 6 computer = 4 ( Profit one each computer)

= 4 x 60 = 240

Hence, on selling 4 computers, the target is matched.

(2) As, the profit on each television = 48

⇒The profit on selling 5 television = 5 ( Profit one each 5 television)

= 5 x 48 = 240

Hence, on selling 5 televisions, the target is matched.

(3) Now, by selling 3 Televisions, the profit = 2 x 48 = 96

by selling 3 computers, the profit = 3 x 60 = 180

Total profit = 96 + 180 = 276 > 240

Hence, on selling 3 televisions and 3 computers, the target is matched.
