When Tracy McCoy wakes up on Saturday morning, she remembers that she promised the PTA she would

Question:

When Tracy McCoy wakes up on Saturday morning, she remembers that she promised the PTA she would make some cakes and/or homemade bread for its bake sale that afternoon. However, she does not have time to go to the store and get ingredients, and she has only a short time to bake things in her oven. Because cakes and breads require different baking temperatures, she cannot bake them simultaneously, and she has only 3 hours available to bake. A cake requires 3 cups of flour, and a loaf of bread requires 8 cups; Tracy has 20 cups of flour. A cake requires 45 minutes to bake, and a loaf of bread requires 30 minutes. The PTA will sell a cake for $10 and a loaf of bread for $6. Tracy wants to decide how many cakes and loaves of bread she should make. Identify all the possible solutions to this problem (i.e., combinations of cakes and loaves of bread Tracy has the time and flour to bake) and select the best one.
