Question 1184538: An apple orchard sells apple juice in three different sized containers: 1L, 2L, and 4L bottles. The maximum amount of juice that can be produced in a week is 320L, and it seems that customers prefer the 1L format over the other two combined.

Furthermore, for every 2L bottle sold, at most one 4L bottle is sold. If the profit for the one litre bottles is $1, the two litre bottle profits $1.50, and the four litre bottle has profit of $3.75 determine how many of each format of bottle must be sold to maximize weekly profits, and determine the profit.
