From the statement we know that:
• fuses cost $2.35,
,• a motor requires 3 fuses, so it requires Cm = 3 * $2.35 = $7.05 of cash for the fuses,
,• we have $493.5 of cash to invest.
So the amount of motors that we can supply is:
[tex]\frac{493.5}{C_m}=\frac{493.5}{7.05}=70[/tex]Answer
We can supply 70 motors.
