First we write the variables already defined:
m = the number of magazine subscriptions sold
n = the number of newspaper subscriptions sold
We now write the system of inequations based on the following facts:
"he earns $ 23 for each magazine subscription and $ 54 for each newspaper subscription that he sells. his goal is to make more than $ 642 per week"
23m + 54n> 642
"I have expectations to sell at least 10 subscriptions per week"
m + n> = 10
Answer:
A system of inequalities that models the given situation is:
23m + 54n> 642
m + n> = 10
