Let \"a\"= number of men who worked on cabinet A
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"b\"= number of men who worked on cabinet B
\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+%2B+b+=+21\"
\n" ); document.write( "It takes 6 person-days to make 100 of A
\n" ); document.write( "So, it takes 6 persons 1 day to make 100 of A
\n" ); document.write( "\"100%2A%28a%2F6%29+%3C=+150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2F6+%3C=+1.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a+%3C=+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "The profit is 1800 /100 of A
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Ba%5D+=+1800%2A%28a%2F6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Ba%5D+=+300a\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "It takes 9 person-days to make 100 of B
\n" ); document.write( "So, it takes 9 persons 1 day to make 100 of B
\n" ); document.write( "\"100%2A%28b%2F9%29+%3C=+200\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%2F9+%3C=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+%3C=+18\"
\n" ); document.write( "The profit is 2400 / 100 of B
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Bb%5D+=+2400%2A%28b%2F9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Bb%5D+=+266.67b\"
\n" ); document.write( "I may be wrong with this- it's all I could
