Question: 13.
A dealer wishes to purchase a number of fans and sewing machines. He has $3200 to invest and has space for atmost 50 items. A Fan cost him $40 and sewing machine $ 80. He wants to sell a fan at a profit of $20 and sewing machine at $15.
Assuming that he can sell all the items that he can buy, how should he invest his money in order to maximize profit. Solve this problem using iso-profit method of Linear
Programming.
