Shanice's Bakery makes two types of wedding cakes: Pink cake, which sells for $30, and Yellow cake,

which sells for $35. Both cakes are the same size, but the decorating and assembly time required for the
Pink cake is 2 hours, while the time is 3 hours for the Yellow cake. There are 420 hours of labor available
for production. How many of each type of cake should be made to maximize revenue?
