Question 31657: a baker has 25 lbs of wheat and 5 lbs of sugar. To bake each loaf of bread, the baker needs to use 1.3 lbs of wheat and 0.5 lbs sugar. To bake each muffin, the baker needs 0.4 lbs of wheat and 0.16 lbs of sugar.
Set up the inequalities representing the baker's possible choices for baking the number of loaves of bread and muffins to use up his available resources(wheat and Sugar).
If each loaf of bread is sold for $2.50, and each muffin is sold for $1.15, define an equation to represent the baker's profit function. How many of each should he make for maximum profit?

Let equations are:
1.3*X+0.4Y≤25
0.5*X+0.16*Y≤5
The revenue function is 2.5X+1.15Y
This is the sum the baker will get for his max production.
