In summary, the city kid with a 12x5 inch windowsill wants to make the most money by planting peas, which require a 1x4 space and make $15, and carrots, which require a 1x5 space and make $50. They can make 15 sets of peas and 12 sets of carrots if they use the whole space. To maximize profits, they should only plant carrots and not exceed the restrictions of x+y ≤ 60, x≤15, and y≤12.

I am a city kid with a windowsill with the dimensions 12x5 inches. I have peas which require a 1x4 space and make me 15 dollars, and carrots which require 1x5 space and make me 50. I can only make 15 sets of peas if I were to use the whole space, and 12 sets of carrots if I were to use the whole space for carrots. How would I make the most amount of money? I think I have to use graphing and I know the restrictions are x+y ≤ 60 (60 slots available), and x≤15 (peas) and y≤12 (carrots).

Hi zarahzehri01! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

If we use all available space for peas, we'd make $15 \times \$15 = \$225$.
And if we use all available space for carrots, we'd make $12 \times \$50 = \$600$.
So if we can, we should put only carrots in the windowsill.
Can we?
