World renowned ice cream entrepreneurs Sfiso and Richard produce two types of premium
dairy ice cream products, Sfiso n' Richard’s Chocolate Concussion and Vanilla Brain Freeze.
Their chocolate ice cream requires 6𝑙𝑙 milk and 8𝑙𝑙 of peanuts per litre while the vanilla option
requires 9𝑙𝑙 milk and 5𝑙𝑙 peanuts per litre. Sfiso and Richard currently enjoy a surplus of all
other ingredients required for their ice cream but only have 360𝑙𝑙 of milk and 400𝑙𝑙 of peanuts
for this limited production run. Given that the entrepreneurs charge 𝑅𝑅5 for each container of
Chocolate Concussion and 𝑅𝑅7 for each Vanilla Brain Freeze, how many of each type should
Sfiso and Richard produce in order to maximize their profit and what is the maximum?
Approximate your answer to the nearest tenth of a litre.
