Question 460144
Snookers lumber can convert logs into either lumber or plywood.
 In a given day the mill turns out twice as many units of plywood as lumber.
 It makes a profit of $25 on a unit of lumber and $50 on a unit of plywood.
 How many of each unit must be produced and sold in order to make a profit of $12,625.
:
Let x = no. of units of lumber produced
It says,"the mill turns out twice as many units of plywood as lumber." therefore:
2x = no. of units of plywood
:
lumber$ + plywood$ = $12,625
25x + 50(2x) = 12625
25x + 100x = 12625
125x = 12625
x = {{{12625/125}}}
x = 101 units of lumber
:
You can find how many units of plywood are produced, check the amts in the original equation
