Question 1158274
<br>
The maximum number of $3000 systems will be if most of the other systems are the $800 systems.<br>
If all 50 were the $800 systems, the total inventory would be $40,000; that is $71,000 less than the actual total.<br>
Replacing one $800 system with a $3000 system increases the total value by $2200.<br>
The number of times that can be done to make the additional $71,000 is 71000/2200 = 32.27<br>
Of course the answer has to be in whole numbers....<br>
ANSWER: The maximum possible number of $3000 systems is 32.<br>
CHECK: 32(3000)+18(800) = 110400<br>
Since the actual total inventory is $111,000, there is/are some systems that are a bit more expensive than $800.<br>
