Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a system of equations.
The largest profit is going to earned when all the eggs and cups of cream in stock are used.
I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.
The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 350 eggs in stock, so:
Each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream, as does each quart of Continental Mocha. There are 600 cups of cream in stock.
