Roland's Boat Tours sells deluxe and economy seats for each tour it conducts. In order to complete a tour, at least 14 economy seats must be sold and at least 5 deluxe seats must be sold. The maximum number of passengers allowed on each boat in 45. Roland's Boat Tours makes $30 profit for each economy seat sold and $25 profit for each deluxe seat sold. What is the maximum profit from one tour?

Answer 1

At least 14 economy and at least 5 deluxe...total of 45 seats. He makes a bigger profit from selling economy seats....so we need the most economy seats we can get.

45 seats - 5 deluxe = 40 economy

so the most profit would be 40 economy and 5 deluxe
40 economy = (40 x 30) = 1200 profit
5 deluxe = (5 x 25) = 125 profit
for a maximum profit of : $ 1325
