Question

A store sells two types of toys, A and B. One unit of toys

A yields a profit of $2, while a unit of toys B yields a profit
of $3. The store owner, Anthony, estimates that no more
than 2000 toys will be sold every month. Anthony pays
$8 and $14 for each one of toy A and B respectively. He
also does not plan to invest more that $25,000 in
inventory of these toys. Determine the objective function
of the situation if Toy A is x and Toy is y.
P= 8x + 14y
P= 2000x + 25000y
P= 3x + 2y
P= 2x + 3y

Answer 1

The objective function for Anthony's profit from selling toys A (x) and B (y) is P = 2x + 3y, which represents the total profit from selling x units of toy A and y units of toy B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective function for Anthony's profit from selling toys A and B can be determined based on the profit yielded from each unit sold. Since one unit of toy A yields a profit of $2, and one unit of toy B yields a profit of $3, the profit function (P) for x units of toy A and y units of toy B would be:

P = 2x + 3y

This equation represents the total profit (P) that Anthony would make from selling x units of toy A and y units of toy B.
