A lunch counter sells two types of sandwiches: roast beef and chicken salad. It earns a profit of $2 for each chicken salad sandwich it sells and $3 for each roast beef sandwich. There is only enough bread to make up to 30 sandwiches, and it only has enough roast beef to make a maximum of 20 roast beef sand- wiches. It takes 10 minutes to prepare each chicken salad sandwich and 4 min- utes to prepare each roast beef sandwich. If the maximum amount of time the lunch counter has to prepare sandwiches is 4 hours (240 minutes), how many of each type of sandwich should be prepared to maximize profit?
