document.write( "Question 1147010: A company manufactures two types of washers, top load and front load. The company can manufacture a maximum of 18 washers per day. It makes a profit of $20 on top load machines and $25 on front load machines. No more than 5 front load machines can be manufactured due to production restrictions. To meet consumer demand, the company must manufacture at least 2 front load machines and 2 top load machines per day. What is the maximum profit? \n" ); document.write( "
