Question: use a linear programming model to identify the optimal product mix using the following data: Product Raw material ( kg ) Machine capacity ( min

use a linear programming model to identify the optimal product mix using the following data:
Product Raw material(kg) Machine capacity(min) Labor capacity(min) Maximum average demand Profit of a unit ($)
A 0.250.350.831300004
B 0.050.550.60750003
C 0.170.230.79250006
D 0.070.791.31600012
E 0.110.140.381400002
The monthly available tea leaf (the raw material of the tea) is 35000 kilograms
The maximum capacity of the 7 lines is 250,000 box/month.
so based on changing the Z condition to the maximum profit and not demand, do the rest of the equations and product mix provided earlier still apply? using the first three products at keeping the last two products at zero?
