Question 23114: Hello,
I tried to write the equation for this word problem, but the results did not seem correct. The problem is:
A leather goods manufacturer makes belts and purses. Both goods require preparing the pieces of leather and sewing them together. A belt requires 20 mins. of piece preparation and 12 mins. of sewing. A purse requires 40 mins. of piece preparation and 60 mins. of sewing. There are 26 pieces preparers and 30 sewers. The manufacturer makes a profit of $15 on each belt and $36 on each purse. Find the number of belts and the number of purses the company should make each hour to maximize profit.
Thank you for your time and help.
