    A toy company needs to profit at least $500 from selling cars and trucks. A car can make a profit $2 while the truck can $3 profit.

    let x be the number of cars

    let y be the number of truck

    If 200 resources for the car per week, we have:

    Profit = $2x + $3y

    $500 = $2*200 + $3*y

    $500 - $400 = $3y

    100 = 3y

    y = 100/3 = 33.33

    The number of trucks needs to produce per week is at least 34 pieces.
