Maximizing Profit on Ice Skates A factory manufactures two kinds of ice skates: racing skates and figure skates. The racing skates require 6 work-hours in the fabrication department, whereas the figure skates require 4 work-hours there. The racing skates require 1 work-hour in the finishing department, whereas the figure skates require 2 work-hours there. The fabricating department has available at most 120 work-hours per day, and the finishing department has no more than 40 work-hours per day available. If the profit on each racing skate is $10 and the profit on each figure skate is $12, how many of each should be manufactured each day to maximize profit? (Assume that all skates made are sold.)
