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. The store pays its sales staff a $43.27 commission for each all-purpose laptop sold and a $49.73 commission for each gaming laptop sold. How many of each type of laptop should be sold to minimize commission? What is that minimum monthly commission?

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
