Your computer supply store sells two types of inkjet printers. The first, type A, costs $241 and you make a $25 profit on each one. The second, type B, costs $103 and you make an $11 profit on each one. You can order no more than 140 printers this month, and you need to make at least $2660 profit on them. If you must order at least one of each type of printer, how many of each type of printer should you order if you want to minimize your cost?

The number of printers for type A = x = 80 printers

The number of printers for type B = y = 60 printers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of printers for type A = x

Let the number of printers for type B = y

You can order no more than 140 printers this month

x + y ≤ 140

x + y = 140

x = 140 - y

Profit for type A = $25

Profit for type B = $11

You need to make at least $2660 profit

25x + 11y ≥ 2660

25x + 11y = 2660

Substitute 140 - y = x

25(140 - y ) + 11y = 2660

3500 - 25y + 11y = 2660

3500 - 2660 = 25y - 11y

840 = 14y

y = 840/14

y = 60 printers

x = 140 - y

x = 140 - 60

x = 80 printers

To minimize cost :

The number of printers for type A = x = 80 printers

The number of printers for type B = y = 60 printers
