RocknRap by Interactive Mathematics Program Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2013

The Hits on a Shoestring music company is planning for next month. The company makes CDs of both rock and rap music.

Producing a rock CD costs the company an average of $15,000. Producing a rap CD costs the company an average of $12,000. The higher cost for rock comes from needing more instrumentalists for rock CDs. In addition, producing a rock CD takes about 18 hours. Producing a rap CD takes about 25 hours.

The company can afford to spend up to $150,000 on production next month. Also, according to its agreement with the employee union, the company will spend at least 175 hours on production.

Hits on a Shoestring earns $20,000 in profit on each rock CD it produces. It earns $30,000 in profit on each rap CD it produces. But the company recently promised its distributor that it would not release more rap than rock music. The distributor thinks the company is more closely associated with rock music in the public mind.
