It takes you 3 hours to stencil a small box and 6 hours to stencil a large box.  You make a profit of $12 for a small box and $16 for a large box.  If you have no more than 30 hours available to stencil and don’t plan to have more than 11 boxes completed, how many of each size box should you stencil to maximize profits?\r<BR>\n" );

document.write( "The 3 hours to stencil a small box and the 6 hours to stencil a large box, along with the total 30 hours available, makes the maximum possible number of boxes 30/3 = 10, so the condition that the number of boxes must be no more than 11 is superfluous.<br><BR>\n" );
document.write( "Then, since the time for stenciling a large box is twice the time for stenciling a small box, whereas the profit from a large box is LESS THAN twice the profit from a small box, makes it obvious that the maximum profit is by stenciling only small boxes.<br><BR>\n" );
