An art store offers prints in two sizes. The store earns $15 on each small print sold and $25 on each large print sold. The owner needs to make a daily profit of at least $700 in order to cover costs.

The answer definitely 15x + 25y > = 700 for the inequality. So the number of small prints is more than 3 times the large prints. We can also have here the number of small prints : x = 3y. So the equation we have is 15 (3y) + 25y > = 700. We take the least amount to solve:

15 (3y) + 25y = 700

=> 45y + 25y = 700

=> 70y = 700

=> y = 10.

So the amount of large prints is 10

The amount of small prints is 10x3 = 30

So it would be (30,10)
