Question 109826
Suppose wheat and sugar are two basic ingredients necessary to bake two items:a loaf of bread and a muffin.
------
Let # of loafs of bread be "b"; Let # of muffins be "m"
---------------------- 
A baker has 25 pounds of wheat and 5 pounds of sugar. 
To bake each loaf of bread, the baker needs to use 1.3 pounds of wheat and 0.5 pounds of sugar.
------
To bake each muffin, the baker needs 0.4 pound of wheat and 0.16 pound of sugar.
------
Wheat INEQUALITY: 1.3b + 0.4m <= 25 lbs
Sugar INEQUALITY: 0.5b + 0.16m <= 5 lbs
----------------


1) 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).
----------------
2) 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 formula. 
-------
Profit EQUALITY: Profit = 2.5b + 1.15m
