Shipping—-Product Mix A produce dealer in Florida ships oranges, grapefruits, and avocados to New York by truck. Each truckload consists of 100 crates, of which at least 20 crates must be oranges, at least 10 crates must be grapefruits, at least 30 crates must be avocados, and there must be at least as many crates of oranges as grapefruits. The profit per crate is $5 for oranges, $6 for grapefruits, and $4 for avocados. How many crates of each type should be shipped to maximize the profit? ( Hint: Let x = number of crates of oranges, y = number of crates of grapefruit. Then, 100 – x – y = number of crates of avocados.)
