36. A furniture dealer deals in only two items—tables
and chairs. He took a loan of € 50,000 from the
bank to invest in this business. He took a room
‘on rent for the storage of furniture which has a
storage space of at most 60 pieces. A table costs
2500 while a chair costs € 500. He estimates that
from the sale of one table, he can make a profit of
250 and that from the sale of one chair a profit of
% 73. Find the number of tables and chairs he
should buy from the available money so as to
maximize his total profit, assuming that he can sell
all the items which he buys.
