Question 88678: After taking a math class a little too seriously Kelli decides that her happiness is a function of the number of books she buys and the number of movies she sees per month. In fact she decides that her happiness quotient is: H = M(B^2) where M is movies and B is books. She can buy books for $9 each on average and can get into movies for $6 if she goes to the matinee. So if she sees 3 movies and buys 2 books her happiness quotient is
H = 3(2^2) = 12. If she has $100 to spend, what�s the highest she can make her happiness quotient?
