Juan makes two types of wooden clocks to sell at local stores. It takes him 2 hours to assemble a pine clock [x], which requires 1 ounce of varnish. It takes 2 hours to assemble an oak clock [y], which takes 4 ounces of varnish. Juan has 16 ounces of varnish in stock and can work 20 hours. If he makes $3.00 profit on each pine clock and $2.00 on each oak clock, how many of each type should he make to maximize his profits? 1. Make a table of your "Resources." Resources Pine(x) and Oak(y) Varnish X + 4y < 16 Time 2x + 2y < 20 2. Graph your inequalities by their intercepts: (0, 10)
