Question

A manufacturer of tennis rackets makes a profit of $15 on each oversized racket and $8 on each standard racket. To meet dealer demand, daily production of standard rackets should be between 30 and 80, and production of oversized rackets should be between 10 and 30. To maintain high quality, the total number of rackets produced should not exceed 80 per day. How many of each type should be manufactured daily to maximize profit?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 oversized rackets and 50 standard rackets
