A company manufactures both liquid crystal display (LCD) and cathode ray tube (CRT) color monitors. The cost of materials for a CRT monitor is $60, whereas the cost of materials for an LCD monitor is $180. The cost of labor to manufacture a CRT monitor is $80, whereas the cost of labor to manufacture an LCD monitor is $140. During a week when the company has budgeted $13740 for materials and $12320 for labor, how many LCD monitors does the company plan to manufacture?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the number of LCD monitors manufactured
c = the number of CRT monitors manufactured
60c + 180l = 13740
80c + 140l = 12320
by solving the above system of equations we find
c = 49 CRT monitors
l = 60 LCD monitors
