Question

HELP PLEASE!

A company makes an $8 profit on its wooden picture frames and a $14 profit on its plastic pictures frames.
Let x represent the number of wooden picture frames.
Let y represent the number of plastic picture frames.
The company is given enough space at a photography show to display up to 55 frames.
The company wants to make a profit of at least $600 at the event.

Write the two inequalities that represent this problem. Show the constraints on x and y.

Solve your system of inequalities to show how many of each frame must be sold to make the $600 profit

Answer 1

If x = 8, then multiply x by 28. Then, you'll get 224. If y = 14, then multiply y by 28. Then, you'll get 392. Now add 392 and 224 to get 616. Your answer is $616.
