A farmer is going to divide her 60 acre farm between two crops. Seed for crop A costs $20 per acre. Seed for crop B costs $10 per acre. The farmer can spend at most $700 on seed. If crop B brings in a profit of $60 per acre, and crop A brings in a profit of $180 per acre, how many acres of each crop should the farmer plant to maximize her profit?
