Angela and Bob Ray keep a large garden in which they grow cabbage, tomatoes, and onions tomake two kinds of relish—chow-chow and tomato. The chow-chow is made primarily of cabbage,whereas the tomato relish has more tomatoes than does the chow-chow. Both relishesinclude onions, and negligible amounts of bell peppers and spices. A jar of chow-chow contains8 ounces of cabbage, 3 ounces of tomatoes, and 3 ounces of onions, whereas a jar of tomato relishcontains 6 ounces of tomatoes, 6 ounces of cabbage, and 2 ounces of onions. The Rays grow120 pounds of cabbage, 90 pounds of tomatoes, and 45 pounds of onions each summer.The Rays can produce no more than 24 dozen jars of relish. They make $2.25 in profit from ajar of chow-chow and $1.95 in profit from a jar of tomato relish. The Rays want to know howmany jars of each kind of relish to produce to generate the most profit.
