Paisans Pizzeria makes gourmet frozen pizzas for sale to delis and food kiosks around the state. They make only deluxe pizzas, one vegetarian and the other with meat. Their business planning needs to take the following into consideration  Each vegetarian pizza takes 12 minutes of labor and each meat pizza takes 6 minutes of labor. The plant has at most 3,600 minutes of labor available each day.  The plant freezer can handle a total of at most 500 pizzas per day.  Vegetarian pizza is not quite as popular as meat pizza, so the plant makes at most 200 of this type each day.  The sale of each vegetarian pizza earns Paisans $3 profit. Each meat pizza earns them $2 profit. The company would like to maximize its profit.
