Question

Kevin is an auto mechanic. He spends 3 hours when he replaces the shocks on a car and 2 hours when he replaces the brakes. He works no more than 36 hours a week. He routinely completes at least 2 shocks replacements and 3 brake replacements a week. If he charges ​$400 for labor replacing shocks and ​$200 in labor for replacing​ brakes, how many jobs of each type should he complete a week to maximize his​ income?

Answer 1

See below ....question is a bit unclear

Explanation:

He makes 133.33 per hour with shocks and only 100 per hour with brakes.

he should only do 36/3 = 12 shock jobs per week and no brakes.

if he HAS to do at LEAST 3 brake jobs

then he should do 3 brakes and 10 shocks
