Math Problem Statement
a tailor has 100 yd.² of cotton material and 120 yd.² of wall material. it takes 2 yd.² of each type to make a sport coat. It takes one square yard of cotton and 3 yd.² of wool to make pleated skirt. Taylor already has orders for at least 15 sports coats and skirts. if the tailor Sells each coat for $40 each skirt for $45 how many of each garments should be made in order to fill the orders and maximize profit profit
