A company produces alarm clocks. During the regular workweek, the labor cost for producing one clock is $4.00. However, if a clock is produced on overtime, the labor cost is $5.00. Management has decided to spend no more than a total of $46,000 per week for labor. The company must produce 11,000 clocks this week. What is the minimum number of clocks that must be produced during the regular workweek?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let number produced during regular workweek be R, and during overtime, E
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following equation and inequality:
\n" );
document.write( "R + E = 11,000______E = 11,000 - R ------ (i)		
\n" );
document.write( " ----- (ii)
\n" );
document.write( " ------- Substituting 11,000 - R for E in (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Number that must be produced during the regular workweek, or 
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, minimum number that must be produced during the regular workweek is  \n" );
