Linear Programming
National Business Machines manufactures x model A portable printers and y model B portable printers. Each model A costs $100 to make, and each model B costs $150. The profits are $40 for each model A and $35 for each model B portable printer. If the total number of portable printers demanded per month does not exceed 2500 and the company has earmarked no more than $600,000/month for manufacturing costs, how many units of each model should National make each month to maximize its monthly profit?
