(0, 40) 0 40 $3,600
(15, 30) 15 30 $4,500
(30, 0) 30 0 $3,600

Optimal Product Mix is 15 units of Premier and 30 units of Haute.

Algebraic Method:
2P + 1H = 60
2P + 3H = 120

H = 60 - 2P
2P + 3(60 - 2P) = 120
2P + 180 - 6P = 120
-4P = -60
P = 15

H = 60 - 2P
H = 60 - 2(15)
H = 30

Algebraic Method:
2P + 3H = 120
1P + 0H = 45

P = 45
2(45) + 3H = 120
90 + 3H = 120
