Math Problem Statement
Blue Ridge wants to decide how many Fast Hot tubs and Speedy Lux hot tubs to produce to maximize total profit. They can only make 200 products. To produce a Fast hot tub, there must be 15 labor hours and 16 feet of tubing To produce a Speedy lux, there must be 12 hours of production and 12 feet of tubing They will earn 300 and 280, respectively, for each product The only hours that are available for the production is 2366, while for the tubing only 3880. Make the model using linear programming:
