A T-shirt takes ten minutes to make and a sweatshirt takes 20 minutes

to make. You have at most 20 hours to make shirts. The supplies for a
T-shirt cost $4 and the supplies for a sweatshirt cost $20. You want to
spend no more then $600 on supplies. You want to have at least 50
items to sell. How many T-shirts and how many sweatshirts should you
make to maximize your profit? The profit per T-shirt is $6 and the profit
per sweatshirt is $20,

I would use T-Shirts as sweatshirts make you no profit. 20 hours = 1200 / 10 (cuz it takes 10 min) = 120.

So you can make 120 shirts. 120 x4(for the cost of supplies) =$ 480.

you would make profit of 120 x 6 = 720.

720 - 480 = 240.

You would make $240 profit of making 120 shirts
