Answers
This is a question dealing with linear programming.
Let the number of banana breads baked be b
let the number of Zucchini breads baked be z
2b + 1.5z ≤ 22 ---> 4b + 3z ≤ 44
.25b + .5z ≤ 4 ---> b + 2z ≤ 16
solve the upper-boundary equations:
4b + 3z = 44
b + 2z = 16
solve these equations for b and z , comes out to nice whole numbers.
income = 4z + 3b
plug in your values and you got it
