MHB Linear Programming word problems

glaceau · Apr 6, 2016

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!
