2. Fred's Coffee sells two blends of beans: Yusip Blend and Exotic Blend. Yusip Blend is one-half

Costa Rican beans and one-half Ethiopian beans. Exotic Blend is one-quarter Costa Rican beans and

three-quarters Ethiopian beans. Profit on the Yusip Blend is $3.50 per pound, while profit on the Exotic

Blend is $4.00 per pound. Each day Fred receives a shipment of 200 pounds of Costa Rican beans and

330 pounds of Ethiopian beans to use for the two blends. How many pounds of each blend should be

prepared each day to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?
