Question

An electronics store makes a profit of $59 for everystandard DVD player sold and $69 for every portableDVD player sold. The manager's target is to make atleast $345 a day on sales from standard and portableDVD players. Write an inequality that represents thenumbers of both kinds of DVD players that can besold to reach or beat the sales target. Let s representthe number of standard DVD players sold and prepresent the number of portable DVD players sold.Then graph the inequality.

Answer 1

The profit on one standard DVD player is $59 and on one portable DVD player is $69.

If there are s number of standard DVD player then total profit on standard DVD players is $59s. Simillarly total profit on portable DVD players is $69p.

The total profit on DVD player shoul be at least $345, which means total profit on DVD players is $345 or more than $345.

The linear inequalty for total profit is,

`59s+69p\ge345`

The graph of the linear inequality is,

In graph, lines pointing away the origin represent the region for the equation.
