Question

ANTHONY

Ultimately, you decide you want to sell all three types of frozen treats. Use
the following criteria to help you decide how many of each type of frozen
treat you should purchase for your cart.
Criteria:
You will purchase 700 frozen treats.
• The cost to you should be at most $400.
Your goal is to make a profit of at least $800.
Explain to Omar how your decision meets each of the criteria. Include the
number of each type of treat in your explanation.

Answer 1

To meet the criteria, I have decided to purchase 300 ice cream bars, 200 frozen yogurts, and 200 fruit bars for a total of 700 frozen treats. The cost to me for the 300 ice cream bars is $150, and for the 200 frozen yogurts and 200 fruit bars, the cost is $200, totaling to $350, which is within the budget of $400.

Assuming that the selling price of ice cream bars is $2, frozen yogurts are $1.50, and fruit bars are $1, I expect to make a profit of $600 from ice cream bars, $300 from frozen yogurts, and $200 from fruit bars.

The total expected profit from all three types of frozen treats is $1,100, which is well above the target profit of $800. Therefore, purchasing 300 ice cream bars, 200 frozen yogurts, and 200 fruit bars satisfies all the criteria.
