Question

Paul and Polly’s Perfect Pralines and Pastries produces two types of pastry, choux pastry and puff
pastry. To produce a batch of choux pastry requires 4 cups of flour, 16 eggs, and 2 cups of butter.
To produce a batch of puff pastry requires 8 cups of flour and 5 cups of butter. Each day, Paul and
Polly have available to them 100 cups of flour, 84 eggs, and 96 cups of butter. Each batch of choux
pastry produces $20 in profit, and each batch of puff pastry produces $16 in profit.
Formulate a linear programming problem which would answer the question: How many batches of
choux pastry and puff pastry should Paul and Polly’s Perfect Pralines and Pastries produce in order
to maximize profit?
