A fruit juice company makes two special drinks by blending apple and pineapple juices. The first drink uses 30% apple juice and 70% pineapple, while the second drink uses 60% apple and 40% pineapple. There are 1000 liters of apple and 1500 liters of pineapple juice available. If the profit for the first drink is P0.60 per liter and that for the second drink is PO.50, use the simplex method to find the number of liters of each drink that should be produced in order to maximize the profit.
