Question 1153433: It costs a bicycle company $40 to make each adult bicycle and $30 to make each child’s bicycle. The adult bicycle sells for $120, and the child’s bicycle sells for $90.

If x represents the number of adult bicycles the company sells, and y represents the number of children’s bicycles the company sells, which inequality models this situation?

.

Their profit is 120-40 = 80 dollars for each adult bicycle and 90-30 = 60 dollars for each child bicycle.


The total profit is thus


    P = 80x + 60y.


The inequality the problem asks to write is


    80x + 60y >= 2400.
