Complete question :
A grocer sells mangos for $4 per pound and apples for $3 per pound. The grocer starts with
45 pounds of mangos and 50 pounds of apples each day. The grocer's goal is to make atleast $300 each day. What combinations of mangos and apples that could be sold to meet the goal. List two possible
combinations
Answer:
m = 45 ;a = 40
m = 45 ; a = 45
Explanation:
Mangoes, m = $4
Apples, a = $3
Total :
45 pounds of mangoes
50 pounds of apple
4m + 3a ≥ 300
If m = 45
a = 40
4(45) + 3(40)
180 + 120 = 300
If m = 45 ; a = 45
4(45) + 3(45)
180 + 135 = 315
Hence, 2 possible combination :
m = 45 ;a = 40
m = 45 ; a = 45
For all possible solutions :
4m + 3a ≥ 300
