Toyota and Hyundai make a standard sedan and a deluxe sedan. Each company makes the
same amount for each type of car.
At two local competing dealerships in the month of April, Toyota sells 8 standard sedans and
11 deluxe sedans while Hyundai sells 13 standard sedans and 6 deluxe sedans. The table
below shows the profit and cost for each vehicle.
Revenue Store Cost
Standard $5000 $2000
Deluxe $4000 $1500
Use matrix operations to determine which dealership did the best for the month of April.
