Question 1115623: Appreciate your assistance on word problem below if you can solve it for me
B.Maria decides she can produce rose frames to supplement her income. She calculates that each medium frame requires a 6m length of timber and can be built in four minutes, while a large frame requires a 12m length of timber and can be built in six minutes.
She has a regular supply of suitable timber, a total length of 900 meters per week. She also has a maximum of 8 hours a week to build them.
Maria contacts the manager of a local chain of hardware stores. The manager is willing to stock Maria’s frame if she can guarantee at least 20 of each size per week, but will take no more than 60 of each size per week.
The deal will give Maria a $6 profit on each medium frame produced and a $10 profit on each large frame.
How many of each size frame should Maria produce to maximize her profit?
