a small business makes laptops and notepads. In any given month labour costs must not exceed £1350 and material costs must be a maximum of £1150.

Relevant information:
Laptops cost £50 in materials to make and labour costs £50, they make £110 profit on each laptop.
notepads cost £25 in materials to make and labour costs £40, they make £70 profit on each notepad.

QUESTION: HOW MANY OF EACH TYPES OF COMPUTER SHOULD THE COMPANY AIM TO SELL EACH MONTH IN ORDER TO MAKE THE MAXIMUM PROFIT?

Thanks if anybody can answer this question!

Hello and welcome to MHB, glaceau! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
