"Ordinary" T-shirts will cost the club $6 each, "fancy" T-shirts $8 each, and "very fancy" T-shirts $10 each, and the club has a total purchasing budget of $4,000. It will sell "ordinary" T-shirts at a profit of $4 each, "fancy" T-shirts at a profit of $5 each, and "very fancy" T-shirts at a profit of $4 each. How many of each kind of T- shirt should the club order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit the club can make?
