Remember it costs $14 to make the cakes and you are selling them for $50 each. If you only spend the 200 hours making the cakes, what was your maximum total profit?

To calculate the maximum total profit, we need to consider the number of cakes that can be made in 200 hours.
Let's assume it takes x hours to make one cake.
Therefore, the number of cakes that can be made in 200 hours is 200 / x.
Since each cake costs $14 to make and is sold for $50, the profit from selling one cake is $50 - $14 = $36.
The maximum total profit can be calculated by multiplying the profit per cake by the number of cakes made, which is $36 * (200 / x).
However, we need more information to determine the value of x or any constraints on it to accurately calculate the maximum total profit.
To calculate the maximum total profit, we need to find the number of cakes that can be made within the given 200 hours and multiply it by the profit per cake.
Step 1: Calculate the number of cakes that can be made.
Given that it takes 1 hour to make a cake, the number of cakes that can be made is 200 hours divided by 1 hour per cake.
Number of cakes = 200 hours / 1 hour per cake = 200 cakes
Step 2: Calculate the profit per cake.
The profit per cake is the selling price minus the cost to make the cake.
Profit per cake = Selling price - Cost to make the cake
Profit per cake = $50 - $14 = $36
Step 3: Calculate the maximum total profit.
Maximum total profit = Number of cakes * Profit per cake
Maximum total profit = 200 cakes * $36/cake = $7200
Therefore, the maximum total profit is $7200.
To calculate the maximum total profit, we need to determine the number of cakes that can be made within the given 200 hours.
Let's start by calculating the time it takes to make a single cake. If the total time spent making the cakes is 200 hours and it costs $14 per cake, we need to figure out how many cakes can be made within that time frame.
So, if it takes T hours to make one cake, we can calculate:
T * C = 200, where C is the number of cakes made and T is the time per cake.
We know that it costs $14 to make one cake and selling price of each cake is $50. Therefore, the profit per cake is:
Profit per cake = Selling price - Cost price = $50 - $14 = $36.
Now, let's find out the maximum number of cakes that can be made using the given time of 200 hours:
T * C = 200.
Assuming it takes T hours to make one cake, the maximum number of cakes, C, can be calculated as:
C = 200 / T.
To find the maximum C, we need to find the minimum T.
Since C cannot be a fraction or a decimal, let's check the values T=1, T=2, T=3, etc.
For each T value, calculate C by substituting it into the equation C = 200 / T.
To find the minimum T that results in a whole number for C, check the values of C for each T and find the highest whole number. Let's denote this value as C_max.
Once you have found C_max, calculate the maximum total profit by multiplying C_max by the profit per cake:
Maximum total profit = C_max * profit per cake.
