Question 1176149: A computer store sells two types of laptops, an all-purpose laptop and a gaming laptop. The supplier demands that at least 150 of these laptops be sold each month. Experience shows that most consumers prefer all-purpose laptops, but some younger consumers prefer gaming laptops. The result is that the number of all-purpose laptops sold is at least twice the number of gaming laptops sold.

Hi
Question States: x + 2x = 150 
All-purpose laptops: 2x = 100/mo
Gaming laptops: x = 50/mo
  
Commission (dollars):  $43.27(100) + $49.73(50) =  $4327 + $2486.50 = $6818.50

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
