    Number of each dress that can be sold.

    Explanation:

    Here, selling price and profit margin of both products, mini dress and ensemble are given. At the outset, it may seem that mini - dress is a profitable venture than ensemble as it is sold a higher price and profit margin. However, suppose 100 units of mini dress could be sold earning a profit of $14,405 (335*100*0.43).

    If 200 units of ensemble could be sold, it would earn the seller a profit of $20,520 (285*200*0.36).

    So in order to make a decision, the seller should estimate the number of each of the product to be sold such that profit earned from each product is equal.
