Sheds

A small firm builds three types of garden sheds. Type A requires 2 hours of machine time and 5 hours of craftsman time. Type B requires 3 hours of machine time and 5 hours of craftsman time. Type C requires 4 hours of machine time and 3 hours of craftsman time. Each day there are 200 hours of machine time available and 160 hours of craftsman time. The profit on each type A shed is $80, on each type B shed is $84, and on each type C shed is 85 . How many sheds of each type should we make to maximize the profit?
