Arss clothing manufacturer makes two types of jogging pants, design a and design b. the design a jogging pants sells to the retail stores for 2,500each and the design b jogging pants for 2,100. the cost for manufacturing each design a is 1,750 and the cost of each design b is 1,200. if the manufacturer makes no more than 120 jogging a week and budget no more than 150,000 per week, how many of each type should be made to maximize profit?

  120 of design B

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit per dollar cost for design A is (2500/1750 -1) ≈ 0.43. For design B, it is (2100/1200 -1) ≈ 0.75. Design B is more profitable and less expensive to make, so its production should be maximized.

For maximum profit, 120 jogging pants of design B should be made each week.

_____

The budget of 150,000 would allow 150,000/1,200 = 125 pants of design B to be made. The production limit of 120 pants does not use the entire budget.
