The furniture company produces two kinds of rocking chairs, plain chair and fancy chair. Each rocking chair should be assembled and then finished. Plain chair takes 4 hours to assemble and 4 hours to finish. Fancy chair takes 8 hours to assemble and 12 hours to finish. Company can give at most 160 worker hours of assembling and 180 worker hours of completing per day. If profit on the plain chair is $40 and profit on the fancy chair is $65, how many rocking chairs of each type must company make per day to maximize profits and find maximum profit?
X=# of plain chair. Y=# of fancy chairs
