You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = packages of reg hotdogs produced
\n" ); document.write( "y = packages of beef hotdogs produced
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "all-beef hot dogs - 1 package requires 1 lb of beef
\n" ); document.write( "regular hot dogs - 1 package requires 1/2 lb of beef and 1/2 lb of pork
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "200 lbs of beef and 150 lbs of pork are available
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D\" = 200 lbs / 1 lb
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+200\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5Bmax%5D\" = 150 lbs / .5 lbs
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5Bmax%5D+=+300\" This is because once you run out of pork, the leftover
\n" ); document.write( "beef does you no good
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+200\" This is the most y can be
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+175\" this is 200 - 25
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+150\" this is 200 - 50
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+125\" this is 200 - 75
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+200\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+100\" this is 200 - 100
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+250\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+75\" this is 200 - 125
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5Bmax%5D+=+50\" this is 200 - 150
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now list the profit in each case
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A0+%2B+.4%2A200+=+80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A50+%2B+.4%2A175+=+85\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A100+%2B+.4%2A150+=+90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A150+%2B+.4%2A125+=+95\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A200+%2B+.4%2A100+=+100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A250+%2B+.4%2A75+=+105\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A300+%2B+.4%2A50+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "It looks like 300 packages of regular and 50 packages of beef
\n" ); document.write( "hotdogs will maximize profit at $110
\n" ); document.write( "To verify, I'll look at profits with a change of 2 packages for x
\n" ); document.write( "\".3%2A298+%2B+.4%2A51+=+109.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "So it looks like $110 is the maxprofit
\n" ); document.write( "
