Question 1171555: A clothing manufacturer has 20 yards of cotton to make shirts and pajamas. A shirt requires 1 yard of fabric and a pair of pajamas requires 2 yard of fabric. It takes two hours to make a shirt and 3 hours to make the pajamas, and there are 24 hours available to make the clothing. Give two possible numbers of shirt and pajamas he can make.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s = number of shirts
p = number of pajamas

s + 2p <= 20
2s + 3p <= 24

Technically, the manufacturer could choose to make 1 shirt and 1 pair of pajamas and that would still satisfy the conditions. There are many more pairs that work, and you can find them yourself.
