Maximizing Profit The total daily revenue (in dollars) that Weston Publishing realizes in publishing and selling its English-language dictionaries is given by
R (x, y) = −0.005x2 − 0.003y2 − 0.002xy + 20x + 15y
where x denotes the number of deluxe copies and y denotes the number of standard copies published and sold daily. The total daily cost of publishing these dictionaries is given by
C (x, y) = 6x + 3y + 200
dollars. Determine how many deluxe copies and how many standard copies Weston should publish each day to maximize its profits. What is the maximum profit realizable?
