SunnySpa is starting up a medical spa, offering dermatological and cosmetic services for its clients. SunnySpa is trying to figure out whether it can turn a profit depending on what combination of clients it get in its first month.
SunnySpa's offerings include:
Isolaz: once per month for 4-6 sessions, this red laser zaps the oil-producing sebaceous glands using a suction-clamp process which more effectively treats the targeted area.
Fraxel: once per month for 2-6 sessions, a more intense procedure that uses a laser to treat acne scars by stimulating collagen production deep below the skin.
Microdermabrasion: once per month treatment that physically exfoliates the skin using a very small mechanical brush, cutting away dead skin cells on the surface to allow new skin cells to emerge
Acne-creams: daily use, the most common creams include 2-5% benzoyl peroxide that attack facial bacteria and retinol lotions that help rejuvenate a new layer of skin

ANSWER ONE:
We know that the rent is $10,000.
This is the cost of 16 Isolaz + 2 Fraxel. This means anything more than that shall cost more than the rent.
This also means that the cost of 8 Isolaz + 1 Fraxel is $5000. This means anything less than that costs less than $5000.
100 Microdermabrasion cost $5000. This implies that 1 Microdermabrasion cost $0.1.
This information can help you solve question 1. If you still do not get it, mention me and I will clear it for you.
