A bespoke candy shop is preparing for the Halloween rush. The owner must decide how many bags of deluxe mix and how many bags of standard mix of the Peanut/Raisin Delight to make. The deluxe mix takes 0.8 of a pound of raisins and 0.3 of a pound of peanuts. The standard mix takes 0.6 of a pound of raisins and 0.5 of a pound of peanuts. The shop has 90 pounds of raisins and 60 pounds of peanuts. The profit on the deluxe mix is $1.70 and the standard mix profit is $1.50. The owner wants no more than 100 bags of one type prepared.
