A craftswoman produces two products: floor lamps and table lamps. Production of one floor lamp requires 75 minutes of her labor and materials that cost $25. Production of one table lamp requires 50 minutes of labor, and the materials cost $20. The craftswoman wishes to work no more than 40 hours each week, and her financial resources allow her to pay no more than $900 for materials each week.
