Conrad Builds Picnic Tables and Porch Swings Which He Sells

question 37

Short Answer

Conrad builds picnic tables and porch swings which he sells at flea markets. A picnic table requires six 24's and nine 16's. A swing uses three 24's and six 16's. Conrad currently has 120 24's and 198 16's in his inventory. If tables sell for $60 and swings sell for $25, how many of each items should Conrad make in order to maximize his revenue?
