Dee Dee needs to decide how many muffins and how many croissants to produce each

Question

Dee Dee needs to decide how many muffins and how many croissants to produce each day. The profit per muffin is $1 and the profit per croissant is $3.5. On an average, each muffin takes 5 minutes of labor time and 5 minutes of oven time (of course they are produced in batches. For simplification I have given you the time per piece). Croissants take 5 minutes of labor time and 1 minute of oven time. Dee Dee can have its labor dedicated for a maximum of 2 hours every day. The oven time is limited to 6 hours during the night. Due to customer requests, Dee Dee produces at least 5 muffins every day.

Use Solver to find the optimal solution. The optimal number of muffins to be produced in a day is _________ (keep two decimals) and the optimal number of croissants to be produced in a day is ________ (keep two decimals).

Explanation / Answer

here let optimal number of muffins and  croissants to be produced in a day are x and y

from above maximize : x+3.5y

5x+5y <=120

5x+1y <=360

x>=5

solving above:

optimal number of muffins to be produced in a day is 5

and the optimal number of croissants to be produced in a day is 19
