Question:
An ice cream shop sells single scoop ice cream cones that come in three flavors: chocolate only, vanilla only, and chocolate-vanilla twist. The cones are prepackaged and sold to a supermarket daily. The ingredients used along with the minimum demand of each flavor are shown as follows:
Ice Cream Flavor | |||
| Chocolate | Vanilla | Chocolate-Vanilla |
Chocolate | 4 oz. | 0 oz. | 3 oz. |
Vanilla | 0 oz. | 4 oz. | 2 oz, |
Min daily Demand | 22 scoops | 18 scoops | 12 scoops |
Each day, 50 pounds of chocolate, and 40 pounds of vanilla are supplied to the ice cream shop from an outside vendor. The chocolate, vanilla, and chocolate-vanilla twist each yield a profit of $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00 per cone, respectively.
How many chocolate, vanilla, and chocolate- vanilla twist cones must prepackage daily to maximize daily profits? You can sell as many cones as you make. Remember a pound has 16 ounces.
