A chain saw requires 8 hours of assembly and a wood chipper 7 hours. A maximum of 168 hours of assembly time is available. The profit is $160 on a chain saw and $250 on a chipper. How many of each should be assembled for maximum​ profit?

PROFIT is bigger on woodchipper AND the TIME is LESS.....Use all of the time to make chippers!

Good spotting EP.

 

So that is 168/7= 24 woodchippers and no chainsaws.

 

Sounds a bit suspect to me - I don't know how the wood is chipped if the trees are not cut down first but that is not my worry cheeky
