Question 800233: A vendor, selling delicious 100-Grand bars and Twix bars, has space for 180 pieces of candy and sells all of the candy during one day. Customers buy at least twice as many Twix Bars as 100-Grand Bars. If the vendor makes a profit of 8 cents on each 100-Grand bar and 10 cents on each Twix bar,how many of each type of candy should the vendor sell each day to earn the maximum profit?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! g+t=180,
2g=t,
8g+10t=y
3g=180
g=60
t=120
if he sells only twix bars the profit would be 10*180=$18.00
if he sells only grand bars the profit would be 8*180= 14.40
10*120=$12.00
8*60=$4.80
but he is selling 2t for every g.
$16.80 would be his profit.
