Hi everyone, I'm having trouble conceptualizing this problem.
To make one package of all-beef hot dogs, a manufacturer uses 1lb of beef. To make one package of regular hot dogs, the manufacturer uses 1/2 lb of each beef and pork. The profit on the all-beef hot dogs is $0.45 per pack and the profit on the regular hot dogs is $0.35 per pack. There are 300 lbs of beef and 200 lbs of pork. List the constraints. Determine the objective function.

What is it that needs to be maximized or minimized?
