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?
