Here is the problem I have. I think I have the answer. I just need help setting it up. I appreciate any help.

A farmer grows apricots, plums, and peaches on his 270 acre farm. The labor (for planting, tending and harvesting) and the capital (for seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides) requirements for each crop are given in the table. If the farmer can contract for 815 days of labor and has $13,450 set aside for capital expenses, how many acres of each crop can he grow?

Code:
(per acre)        apricots   plums   peaches
Days of labor         3        2        4
Capital expenses     55       50       45
:cry:
 
Again, setting it up is the interesting part of the problem. How far have you gotten?
