CPM Homework Help : CCA Problem 10-116

A small toy company makes only cars and trucks. The profit on cars is $\$2$ each and the profit made on trucks is $\$3$ each. To stay in business the company must make at least $\$500$ profit each week. Write an inequality that represents possible combinations of toys that the company can make and remain in business. Be sure to define your variables.

Hint:

This is similar to problem 10-73 from Lesson 10.2.4.
Use the same method to set up your inequality.

Answer:

$c=$ the number of cars
$t=$ the number of trucks
$2c+3t\ge500$
