Answer:
To maximize profit, the amount of each type of coffees made are;
The number of regular latte made = 52 cups
The number of low-fat latte made = 48 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The number of espresso in a regular latte = 1 shot
The number of cups of 2% milk in regular latte = 1 cup
The amount of whipped cream in a regular latte = 0.5 cup
The number of cups of skim milk in the low-fat latte = 1.25 cup
The number of espresso in a low-fat latte = 1 shot
The amount of whipped cream in a low-fat latte = 0 cup
The number of cups of espresso in the journey = 100 shots
The number of cups of skim milk in the journey = 60 cups
The number of cups of 2% milk in the journey = 60 cups
The amount of profit the airline makes on each regular latte = $1.58
The amount of profit the airline makes on each low-fat latte = $1.65
Let 'x' represent the number regular lattes made and let 'y' represent the number low-fat lattes made, we have;
x ≤ 30/0.5 = 60
x ≤ 60
y ≤ 60
y ≤ 60/1.25 = 48
∴ y ≤ 48
x + y ≤ 100
Therefore, the given that more profit is made from the sale of low-fat latte than for regular latte, the maximum number of low-fat latte should be made
Therefore, the number of low-fat latte made, y = 48
Therefore, the number of regular latte made, x ≤ 100 - 48 = 52
For maximum profit, the maximum number of low-fat latte, 'x', should be made
Therefore, x = 52
The ideal mix of regular and low-fat lattes to maximize profit is 52 cups of regular latte and 48 cups of low-fat latte
