document.write( "Question 1198757: A company makes two types of biscuits: Jumbo and Regular. The oven can cook at most 400 biscuits per day. Each jumbo biscuit requires 2 oz of flour, each regular biscuit requires 1 oz of flour, and there is 600 oz of flour available. The income from each jumbo biscuit is $0.07 and from each regular biscuit is $0.12 . How many of each size biscuit should be made to maximize income? What is the maximum income?
