The manager of the supermarket meat department finds that there are 170 kg of round steak, 290 kg of chuck steak, and 250 kg of pork in stock on Saturday noon. This meat has to be ground into hamburger pasties and picnic pasties for which there is a large weekend demand. Each kilogram of hamburger pasties contains 45% ground round and 30% ground chuck. Each kilogram of picnic pasties contains 25% ground pork and 40% ground chuck. The remainder of each product consists of an inexpensive non-meat filler that the store has in unlimited quantities. What is the maximum amount of meat that can be used to make pasties?

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
