Question

Objective Function: Maximize what? or Minimize what? 

Ana’s Café does a large lunchtime carry out business.  The café offers two burrito specials: Mild and Spicy.  The profit on one serving of Mild is $0.58, while the profit on one serving of Spicy is $0.45. 

Each serving of Mild requires 0.15 pounds of beef, 0.36 cups of beans, and 3 ounces of salsa.  Each serving of Spicy requires 0.30 pounds of beef, 0.40 cups of beans, 2 ounces of salsa and 5 ounces of special hot sauce. 

Today, Ana checked her pantry and found out that she only has 8.5 pounds of beef, 13 cups of beans, 95 ounces of salsa, and 125 ounces of hot sauce available.  Demand for both types of burritos is unlimited. 

What should Ana do for lunch?
