The store must sell 60 of each set each to obtain the biggest possible income

How to determine the number of each gift set?

The given parameters can be represented using the following table:

                        Set 1        Set 2     Available

Notebook         2                3         300

Pen                   1                  1          120

Selling price     8               11.5

Using the above data values, we have:

Objective function: Max P = 8x + 11.5y

Subject to:

2x + 3y ≤ 300

x + y ≤ 120

Next, we plot the graph of the above inequalities (see attachment)

From the attached graph, we have:

(x,y) = (60,60)

Hence, the store must sell 60 of each set each to obtain the biggest possible income
