\n" ); document.write( "The maximum number of $3000 systems will be if most of the other systems are the $800 systems.

\n" ); document.write( "If all 50 were the $800 systems, the total inventory would be $40,000; that is $71,000 less than the actual total.

\n" ); document.write( "Replacing one $800 system with a $3000 system increases the total value by $2200.

\n" ); document.write( "The number of times that can be done to make the additional $71,000 is 71000/2200 = 32.27

\n" ); document.write( "Of course the answer has to be in whole numbers....

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The maximum possible number of $3000 systems is 32.

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK: 32(3000)+18(800) = 110400

\n" ); document.write( "Since the actual total inventory is $111,000, there is/are some systems that are a bit more expensive than $800.

\n" ); document.write( "
