Set up the constraints and objective function for the following linear programming problem. A discount store is offered two styles of slightly damaged coffee tables. The store has storage space for 60 tables and 105 hours of labor for repairing the defects. Each table of style A requires 1 hour of labor to repair, and each table of style B requires 2 hours. Style A is priced at $53 each, and style B at $40 each. How many of each style should be ordered to maximize gross sales? (Let x represent the number of tables of style A, y the number of tables of style B, and z the gross sales in dollars.) storage space             labor
