A certain area of forest is populated by two species of animal, which scientists refer to as A and B for simplicity. The forest supplies two kinds of food, referred to as
and
For one year, each member of species A requires 1 unit of
and 0.5 unit of
. Each member of species B requires 0.2 unit of
and 1 unit of
. The forest can normally supply at most 600 units of
and 525 units of
per year. What is the maximum total number of these animals that the forest can support?

You need to proofread your post; the copy/paste of teh food type names did not work.
So, you know that
1.0A + 0.2B <= 600
0.5A + 1.0B <= 525
and you want to maximize p = A+B
so graph the region and evalueate p(A,B) at the vertices.

It would help if you would proofread your work before you post it.

Units of what?
