You can put this solution on YOUR website! A manufacturer produces two new action figures, FerociousFrank and Mighty Marcel. FF takes 4 hrs to produce@ $8 each. MM takes 3 hrs to produce @ $7 each. If the manufacturer allots a total of 5800 hrsand$12,600for production each week, how many of each model will be produced?
------
Production Equation: 4F + 3M = 5800
Cost Equation::::::: 8F + 7M = 12,600
-------------------------------------------
32F + 24M = 8*5800
32F + 28M = 4*12600
-----------------------
4M = 4000
M = 1000 (# of MM's to produce)
-----
Solve for "F":
4F + 3M = 5800
4F + 3000 = 4800
4F = 1800
F = 450 (# of FF's to produce)
