Question

1. custom creations has a consistent cost rate per mug and per pen and offers free shipping. the table shows the price for each item. custom creations price per mug $5.55 price per pen $2.50 a real estate company wants to give one promotional item to each of its 100 clients. the company orders a mixture of mugs and pens as the promotional items. the budget for purchasing all promotional items is $305. complete the sentence. based on the graph, the company should buy approximately ____ mugs and ____ pens in order the maximize the budget.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

The graph shows the relationship between the number of mugs and pens. The intersection point of the two lines (assuming one line represents the total - item constraint \(m + p=100\) where \(m\) is the number of mugs and \(p\) is the number of pens, and the other represents the budget constraint \(5.55m + 2.5p=305\)) gives the solution.

Step2: Estimate the intersection point

Looking at the grid - like graph, we can observe that the intersection of the two lines (the line for the total number of items and the line for the budget) occurs at approximately \(m = 20\) mugs and \(p = 80\) pens.

Answer:

20 mugs and 80 pens
