The Toy Shop

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

$3,513, however this would not compare to our maximum profit.

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

profit, but it wasn’t the most we could make.


(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.
(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.
(Desmos Graphing Calculator)
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.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.
(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


The next pair of toy combination was dolls and teddy bears. The dolls and teddy

bears made up to $2,652 from 0 dolls and 102 teddy bears.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


Furthermore, we solved and graphed for the rocking horses and yoyo pair. These two

combination of toys would give us around $3,852 through creating 103 rocking horses and 0

yoyos

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


Rocking horses and tinker toys was out next set to find the profit and graph of. The profit

came out to be around $3,852 and no more than 103 rocking horses and 0 tinker toys could be

created to fit our constraint.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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

$3,740 from 0 rocking horses and 133 blocks.


(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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

with around 76 rocking horses and 47 hammocks created.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


This time, we graphed and solved for rocking horses and the painting kit as our toy pair

set. As a result, the profit turned out to be $3,740 estimated with no more than 100 rocking

horses and 0 rocking horses produced considering the constraints.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.
(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


After that, we graphed yoyos and teddy bears, getting the result of 12 yoyos and 120

teddy bears. We would receive a maximum profit of $3,080 selling them, but it still is not the

most we could be making.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


Afterward, we plotted tinker toys and painting kits coming to the conclusion of 0 tinker

toys and 80 painting kits. Our maximum profit would have been $3,060 and this is nothing in

comparison to what would could be making.


(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


Later, we graphed blocks and hammocks coming to the conclusion of 125 blocks and 50

hammocks as our answer. Our maximum profit would have been $3,655 and that’s still not what

we could be making.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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

most profit we could make.


(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

Next, we tried dolls and rocking horses. The final profit from this combination was about

$3,764 from 86 dolls and 42 rocking horses.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


​ ​Following that, we graphed hammocks and painting kits, and had an answer of about 155

hammocks and 50 painting kits. $7,824 was our profit, this maximum profit is largest profit

from all of the twenty-eight combinations.

​(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.
(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)


One of the very last toy combinations we found the graph and profit for was dolls

and hammocks. The maximum profit from these two pairs was around $3,970 with a total

of 86 dolls and 41 hammocks being created.

(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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.
(Desmos Graphing Calculator)

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

and time was put in.
