Kane Manufacturing has a division that produces two models of hibachis, model A and model B. To produce each model-A hibachi requires 3 lb of cast iron and 6 min of labor. To produce each model-B hibachi requires 4 lb of cast iron and 3 min of labor. The profit for each model-A hibachi is $2, and the profit for each model-B hibachi is $1.50. There are 1000 lb of cast iron and 22 labor-hours available for the production of hibachis each day.

If there are x and y of A and B, then the constraints are

3x+4y <= 1000
6a+3b <= 22*60

The profit function is

p(x,y) = 2.00x + 1.50y

When you figure out the question you want to answer, this should help.
