A business has $11,080 to spend on new laptops and tablet computers for its salespeople. The laptops cost $515 each. The tablets cost $285 each. The business wants each salesperson to have either a laptop or a tablet. There are 30 salespeople. How many of each type of computer should the business buy?

Respuesta :

Let x be the number of new laptops and y be the number of tablets that the company should buy. The equations that best show the given conditions are as follows,
                                   x + y = 30
                                515x + 285y = 11080
Solving simultaneously for the values of x and y gives an answer of x = 11 and y = 19.

Thus, the business should buy 11 laptops and 19 tablets.
