You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = the number of toys Ben will have to make
given:
Ben's cost for the toys is 1.8x
Ben's income from selling the toys is 3x
If P is the profit,
P+=+36
---------------
In words:
profit = total sales income - total cost
P+=+3x+-+1.8x
36+=+3x+-+1.8x
36+=+1.2x
x+=+30 answer
