document.write( "Question 1205168: Emilia manages a company that makes and sells two kinds of speakers, the Boomer and the Rocker. Each Boomer takes 10 hours to create the plastic parts, 5 hours to create the electronics, and 6 hours for assembly. Each Rocker requires 6 hours to create the plastic parts, 6 hours to create the electronics, and 4 hours for assembly. The factory can handle a maximum of 3020 hours to create the plastic parts, 1848 hours to create the electronics, and 1840 hours for assembly each week. If each Boomer generates $8 in revenue, and each Rocker generates $11, how many of each of the speakers should Emilia have the company make and sell each week to earn the most revenue?
