I'm not so good with word problems, for someone reason I always get confuse with the numbers and words and if I really need it or not. So here it is:
Jim Olsen makes and sells gourmet food items. He makes two types of salad dressings: garlic and tofu. Each gallon of garlic dressing requires 2 qt. of oil and 2 qt. vinegar. Each gallon of tofu dressing requires 3 qt. of oil and 1 qt of vinegar. Jim makes $3 profit on each gallon of garlic dressing and a $2 profit on each gallon of tofu dressing. He has 18 qt of oil and 10 qt of vinegar on hand. How many gallons of each type of dressing should he make to maximize his profits?
If you know a website that can help me that would be nice.
