The restaurant must also make between 30 and 76 batches of the Mint Breezes. The batches of Caramel Twists take 19 ounces of flour, while batches of Mint Breezes require 17 ounces of flour. The restaurant only has 1938 ounces of flour available. If batches of Caramel Twists generate $2.54 in profit, and batches of Mint Breezes generate $1.76, how many batches of the pies should Amy have the restaurant make to get the most profit?
