Tray of corn muffins takes 4 c. milk and 3 c. flour for a profit of $3.
:
Tray of bran muffins takes 2 c. milk and 3 c. flour for a profit of $2.
:
Have only 16 c. milk and 15 c. flour.
:
How many trays of each type of muffin should you make to maximize profits?
:
Let x = number of corn muffin trays
:
Let y = number of bran muffin trays
:
The milk equation: 4x + 2y =< 16
:
The flour equation: 3x + 3y =< 15
:
Simplify and solve these equations: 1st eq divide by 2, 2nd eq divide 3:
2x + y = 8
x + y = 5
----------- subtract
x + 0x = 3
:
x = 3 trays of corn muf
:
y = 5 - 3 = 2 trays of bran
:
Max profit 3($3) + 2($2) = $13.00 and utilizes all the ingrediants
