How many canoes and how many kayaks should he buy in order to maximize the revenue?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The kayaks rent for twice as much as the canoes; he wants as many kayaks as possible.
The maximum number of boats his facility can accommodate is 80.
The maximum number of kayaks he can buy for $52,000 at $700 each is 52,000/700 = 74 (and a fraction, which we ignore).
ANSWER: He should buy 74 kayaks, then 6 canoes to fill his facility to its capacity of 80.
