The profit for each ornament is $12.00 per hour for the hanging one & $4.50 per hour for the free standing one. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Seeing as he can only make 50 ornaments his best plan is to make 50 hanging ornaments netting him $ 600.00. Although he only works 50 hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Anytime he makes 1 less hanging ornament he can only make one free standing ornament which means he looses ($12.00 - $4.50) $7.50 on every free standing ornament.
\n" ); document.write( "If he made all free standing ornaments and worked the entire 70 hours he'd only make $9.00 X 35 = $315.00.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Best profit plan is work 50 hours and make 50 hanging ornaments.\r
