A lawn care store makes a profit of $89.00 for every push mower sold and $236.00 for every riding lawn mower sold. The owner would like to make at least $621.00 a day from the sales of push and riding lawn mowers. Let x = the number of push mowers sold. Let y = the number of riding mowers sold. Which of the following is a list of 3 possible solutions to the graph?(1 point)
Responses
A. (2,1), (2,2), (2,3)
B. (3,1), (4,2), (1,1)
C. (3,2), (2,3), (1,4)
D. (1,2), (2,2), (3,1)
To find the possible solutions to the graph, we need to find the combinations of x (number of push mowers sold) and y (number of riding mowers sold) that will meet or exceed the owner's desired profit of $621.
The profit for each push mower sold is $89, and the profit for each riding mower sold is $236.
We can set up the following equation to represent the desired profit:
89x + 236y ≥ 621
Now let's test each set of values from the given options:
Option A: (2,1), (2,2), (2,3)
For (2,1):
89(2) + 236(1) = 178 + 236 = 414
414 is less than 621, so (2,1) is not a possible solution.
For (2,2):
89(2) + 236(2) = 178 + 472 = 650
650 is greater than 621, so (2,2) is a possible solution.
For (2,3):
89(2) + 236(3) = 178 + 708 = 886
886 is greater than 621, so (2,3) is a possible solution.
Option B: (3,1), (4,2), (1,1)
For (3,1):
89(3) + 236(1) = 267 + 236 = 503
503 is less than 621, so (3,1) is not a possible solution.
For (4,2):
89(4) + 236(2) = 356 + 472 = 828
828 is greater than 621, so (4,2) is a possible solution.
For (1,1):
89(1) + 236(1) = 89 + 236 = 325
325 is less than 621, so (1,1) is a possible solution.
Option C: (3,2), (2,3), (1,4)
For (3,2):
89(3) + 236(2) = 267 + 472 = 739
739 is greater than 621, so (3,2) is a possible solution.
For (2,3):
89(2) + 236(3) = 178 + 708 = 886
886 is greater than 621, so (2,3) is a possible solution.
For (1,4):
89(1) + 236(4) = 89 + 944 = 1033
1033 is greater than 621, so (1,4) is a possible solution.
Option D: (1,2), (2,2), (3,1)
For (1,2):
89(1) + 236(2) = 89 + 472 = 561
561 is less than 621, so (1,2) is not a possible solution.
For (2,2):
89(2) + 236(2) = 178 + 472 = 650
650 is greater than 621, so (2,2) is a possible solution.
For (3,1):
89(3) + 236(1) = 267 + 236 = 503
503 is less than 621, so (3,1) is not a possible solution.
Based on the calculations, the list of 3 possible solutions to the graph is:
C. (3,2), (2,3), (1,4)
the correct answer
My apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reassess the options:
A. (2,1), (2,2), (2,3)
For (2,1):
89(2) + 236(1) = 178 + 236 = 414
414 is less than 621, so (2,1) is not a possible solution.
For (2,2):
89(2) + 236(2) = 178 + 472 = 650
650 is greater than 621, so (2,2) is a possible solution.
For (2,3):
89(2) + 236(3) = 178 + 708 = 886
886 is greater than 621, so (2,3) is a possible solution.
B. (3,1), (4,2), (1,1)
For (3,1):
89(3) + 236(1) = 267 + 236 = 503
503 is less than 621, so (3,1) is not a possible solution.
For (4,2):
89(4) + 236(2) = 356 + 472 = 828
828 is greater than 621, so (4,2) is a possible solution.
For (1,1):
89(1) + 236(1) = 89 + 236 = 325
325 is less than 621, so (1,1) is not a possible solution.

For (3,2):
89(3) + 236(2) = 267 + 472 = 739
739 is greater than 621, so (3,2) is a possible solution.

89(2) + 236(3) = 178 + 708 = 886
886 is greater than 621, so (2,3) is a possible solution.
For (1,4):
89(1) + 236(4) = 89 + 944 = 1033
1033 is greater than 621, so (1,4) is a possible solution.

For (1,2):
89(1) + 236(2) = 89 + 472 = 561
561 is less than 621, so (1,2) is not a possible solution.
For (2,2):
89(2) + 236(2) = 178 + 472 = 650
650 is greater than 621, so (2,2) is a possible solution.
