On each sale, the company makes a profit of $6 per unit of A sold and $5 per unit of B sold. Both the chocolates require milk and chocolate only. Each unit of A requires 1 unit of milk and 3 units of chocolate. Each unit of B requires 1 unit of milk and 2 units of chocolate. The company kitchen has a total of 5 units of milk and 12 units of chocolate. The company wishes to maximize its profit. How many units of A and B should it produce respectively? Let the total number of units produced of A equal x and the total number of units of B produced by y. Note: Number of units can only be positive. \n" ); document.write( "
