document.write( "Question 1077460: Hi Audio purchases speakers from a manufacturing company and installs them in its own cabinets. Their model A speaker assembly, which sells for $200 has a tweeter and mid-range speaker. The model B Assembly, which sells for $350, has two tweeters, mid-range and a woofer. Hi Audio currently has in stock 90tweeters, 60 mid-range speakers, and 44 woofers. How many speaker assemblies of each should they make to maximize revenue? \n" ); document.write( "
