Mom's Monster Market manufactures plush dragons and sharks. A dragon requires 76 inches of fabric and 16 ounces of stuffing. A shark requires 19 inches of fabric and 24 ounces of stuffing. Mom has 532 inches of fabric and 192 ounces of stuffing. She can sell the dragons for $60 each and the sharks for $12 each. How many sharks must Mom manufacture to maximize her money?
Similar to the last question about tiles:
The best outcome that I can see is:
6 dragons which will require 456 inches of fabric and 96 ounces of stuffing.
That leaves: 76 inches of fabric and 96 ounces of stuffing out of which 4 sharks can be made:
So, 6 dragons X $60 =$360 and
4 sharks X $12 =$48 for a total of:
$360+$48 =$408 maximum amount that she can earn by using all matrial at hand. She could make 7 dragons and make $420, but that will leave 80 ounces of stuffing!!.
OK guys. That is my take on it!!.
