Answer 1

A small fish market sells only tuna and salmon. A tuna costs the fish market $0.75 per pound to buy and $2.53 per pound to clean and package. A salmon costs the fish market $3.00 per pound to buy and $2.75 per pound to clean and package. The fish market makes $2.50 per pound profit for each tuna it sells and $2.80 per pound profit for each salmon it sells. The fish market owner can spend only $159.00 per day to buy fish and $197.34 per day to clean and package the fish.
