A small tailors’ company wants to use at least 130 yards of fabric to sew evening skirts
and dresses. A dress requires 4 yards of fabric and the production of a skirt
will need 3 yards. Research shows that they will be able to sell at most three
times as many skirts as dresses . A dress will take 10 hours to produce and a
skirt will take 1 hour. They can assign to this work no more than 286 hours. Each dress will sell for $540, and each
skirt will sell for $180. How many skirts should they sew to maximize the
profit?
I set up the last one for you.

Post your work if you get stuck.
