A company wants to buy computers and printers for a new branch office, and the number of computers can be at most 3 times the number of printers. Computers cost $1,500 each, and printers cost $300 each. What is the greatest number of computers that the company can buy if it has a total of $9,100 to spend on computers and printers?

The number of computers can be at most 3 times the number of printers
Let C = the number of computers purchased
Let P = the number of printers purchased
So, we can write: C ≤ 3P
Subtract 3P from both sides of the inequality to get: C - 3P ≤ 0
2)买电脑和打印机一起的钱z最多不超过是$9100
Computers cost $1,500 each, and printers cost $300 each.
So, the total cost of purchasing C computers and P printers = 1500C + 300P
What is the greatest number of computers can the company buy if it has a total of $9,100 to spend on computers and printers?
This tells us that the total cost cannot exceed $9100
So, we can write, 1500C + 300P ≤ 9100
3)联立不等式,求得C的范围
We now have the following system of inequalities:
C - 3P ≤ 0
1500C + 300P ≤ 9100
Take the top inequality and multiply both sides by 100 to get:
100C - 300P ≤ 0
1500C + 300P ≤ 9100
Since the inequality symbols are facing the same direction, we can add the two inequalities to get: 1600C ≤ 9100
Divide both sides of the inequality by 1600 to get: C ≤ 9100/1600
Simplify to get: C ≤ 5.something
C最大是5
因为题目说的是at most 3 times, 电脑和打印机的比例最多为3:1,不是一定要3:1的哦 我一开始也是这样以为登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
1500*3b+300*b=9100
2c [3000] + 1p [300] = 3300
3c [4500] + 1p [300] = 4800
4c [6000] + 2p [600] = 6600
5c [7500] + 2p [600] = 8300
6c [9000] + 2p [600] = 9600 > 9100
