Question

A croissant shop produces two products: bear claws (B) and almond-filled croissants (C). Each bear claw requires 6 ounces of flour, 1 ounce of yeast, and 2 TS (tablespoons) of almond paste. An almond-filled croissant requires 3 ounces of flour, 1 ounce of yeast, and 4 TS of almond paste. The company has 6600 ounces of flour, 1400 ounces of yeast, and 4800 TS of almond paste available for today's production run. The shop must produce at least 400 almond-filled croissants due to customer demand. Bear claw profits are 20 cents each, and almond-filled croissant profits are 30 cents each.
