The Marriott Tub Company manufactures two lines of bathtubs,

called Model A and model B. Every tub requires blending a certain
amount of steel and zinc; the company has available a total of 24,500
pounds of steel and 6,000 pounds of zinc. Each model A bathtub
requires a mixture of 125 pounds of steel and 20 pounds of zinc,
and each yields a profit to the firm of $90. Each model B bathtub
produced can be sold for a profit of $70; it requires 100 pounds of
steel and 30 pounds of zinc. To maintain an adequate supply of
both models, Marriott would like the number of model A bathtub
made to be no more than 5 times the number of model B bathtubs.
