So far, I came up with two constraints out of this equation:
d>=L
and 
8d+5L<=42

Buut I have no idea how to figure out the maximum amount of meals... I'm stumped... :/

dinorap1 · Answer

I think it's 6 because when you make the solution (3,3) it makes all the inequalities true, and (3,3) adds up to 6 meals...

dinorap1 · Answer

Yeah, I think 6 is definitely the correct answer. (4,2) yields $42, and it satisfies both constraints. I'll just close this and open up another question now...
