A company's employees can complete up to 17 arrangements each day using up to 32 total person-hrs of labor.
It takes 4 person-hrs to complete 1 funeral wreath and 1 person-hr to complete 1 bridal centerpiece
How many of each type of arrangement should the florist produce daily to maximize profit if the profit on the funeral wreath is $60 and the profit on the centerpiece is $42.

I did it through solver but is the same if the two equations are solved and then the profit equation is incorporated
The answer by solver is
5 Funeral
12 bridal
And if the following equations are solved also obtain the same answer
x+y=17
4x+y=32
x=5
y=12
So the company has to make 12 bridal centerpieces and 5 funeral wreaths
