At The Toy Shop, we have a limited amount of resources to start our store and a limited
amount of time to make the toys we are going to sell. We could sell dolls, rocking horses, yoyos,
tinker toys, blocks, hammocks, painting kits, and teddy bears. We only have room in our store to
sell two toys and we need to know the maximum profit of which combination of two toys to put
for sale. We calculated how much wood, string, paint, and fabric, as a constraint and the time it
took to make each product, then graphed the inequalities and calculated the maximum profit
using the points of the shaded region in the first quadrant to see what the maximum profit will
be.
We first graphed yoyos and blocks coming to a conclusion with about 61 and 113
blocks. In the graph shown below, there's a region called the feasible region. This region is
where we can make the most profit for our two toy combinations. The feasible region is always
in the first quadrant because if it was anywhere else you would be making a negative amount.
The three points in graph below are the feasible regions; we plugged them into our profit
constraint. We picked these points to plug in because these three points intersect all of the shaded
constraints that are required to make the two toy combinations. Our profit would have been about
First, we graphed yoyos and hammocks, winding up with about 57 yoyos and about 39
hammocks. We found our maximum profit from the feasible region which is the place where we
can produce the most profit from our constraints. The three points on the graph intersect all of
the shaded constraints. In other words, those three points is the feasible region. We plugged these
constraints into our profit constraint then found out that out of the three sections, we would have
had a maximum profit of $3,726, which is not the most we could be making.

Painting kits and teddy bears was next, and we had an answer of 60 painting kits and
102 teddy bears. Again, after we graphed our constraints we found our feasible region by
looking at where all of the our constraints intersected in the first quadrant. The feasible region is
the region where we are able to make the most profit out of our limited resources. The three
points are the feasible regions. We plugged those points into our profit constraint and out of the
three points we picked the one that made the most profit. $4,549 could have been our maximum
Next, we graphed blocks and teddy bears and came up with an answer of 91 blocks and
126 teddy bears. In the graph below, we calculated the maximum profit through finding the
feasible regions which is the three points. The feasible regions intersect all of the constraints for
our toy combinations. These three points are the place where we could produce the most profit
from our limited resources. We entered the three points into our profit constraint $3,868 was our
maximum profit, but it was still not the most we could make.

One of the many combinations we graphed was dolls and yoyos. Our maximum profit
from these two toys was around $3,228 by making 86 dolls and 29 yoyos.
We then graphed hammocks and teddy bears, and had an answer of 39 hammocks and 113
teddy bears. Our maximum profit would have been $4,188, and this was still not the most we
could be making.

Dolls and tinker toys was the next combination we tried graphing. The maximum profit
was about $1,996 and made 20 dolls and about 76 tinker toys.
Next, we decided to find dolls and blocks. We found that the maximum profit made from
about 126 dolls and about 91 blocks would be around $4,551, which was not the most we could
be making.

From the 28 possible toy pairs, we chose to find the profit and graph for the doll and
painting kit toys. The two toys produced around $4,377 with 72 dolls and 66 painting kits
created.
combination of toys would give us around $3,852 through creating 103 rocking horses and 0
yoyos
came out to be around $3,852 and no more than 103 rocking horses and 0 tinker toys could be
From the various combinations we could make, our next match up was rocking
horses and blocks. Looking at the possible profits, the greatest amount was no more than
Our next step was to find another pair of different toys and those two toys are rocking
horses and hammocks. The outcome of the profit of theses toy items is about $4,880 attached
set. As a result, the profit turned out to be $3,740 estimated with no more than 100 rocking
We matched rocking horses and teddy bears toys together from the our limited toy pair
combinations. $3,369 is about how much we could make from these two toys being sold in our
shop with 31 rocking horses and 100 teddy bears being made.

We graphed hammocks and tinker toys, and had an answer of 75 tinker toys and 50
hammocks. Our maximum profit would be $3,634 and that was not the most we could have been
making.
teddy bears. We would receive a maximum profit of $3,080 selling them, but it still is not the
toys and 80 painting kits. Our maximum profit would have been $3,060 and this is nothing in
Following that, we graphed tinker toys and teddy bears with 56 tinker toys and one 120
teddy bears was our answer. Our maximum profit would be $3,747 but, that’s still not as much
as we could be making.
hammocks as our answer. Our maximum profit would have been $3,655 and that’s still not what
we could be making.
Blocks and painting kits was next, and we concluded that about 0 blocks and 80
painting kits was our answer. $3,060 was our maximum profit, but it still wasn’t the
Next, we tried dolls and rocking horses. The final profit from this combination was about
hammocks and 50 painting kits. $7,824 was our profit, this maximum profit is largest profit
Then, we graphed tinker toys and blocks and had an answer of 0 tinker toys and about 133
blocks. Our maximum profit was $1,583, and that was nothing in comparison to what we could
be making.

We tried the yoyos and the painting kits, selling about 60 yoyos and about 68 painting
kits. We would get a maximum profit of about $4,743 from selling them.

Yoyos and tinker toys was our last combination that we figured out finding the profit
from; in order to compare it with the others pairs and then pick the largest profitable toy
combination for us sell. The profit from these two mixture of toys ended up with a profit of
roughly $3,543 and only around 62 yoyos and 68 tinker toys being constructed.

Our goal was to find the most profit out of the limited resources available from the
combinations of toys. We found out that the two toy combinations that made the most profit was
hammocks and painting kit it made up to $7,824 from creating 155 hammocks and 50 painting
kits. In conclusion, our store shop will make hammocks and painting kits since it will produce
the maximum profit out from all the twenty eight combination of toys. While also being able to
satisfy all the constraints from the limited resources such as how much wood, string, paint, fabric
