Find the constraint inequalities and the profit formula for this linear programming mixture problem: Toni has a small business producing dried floral wreaths and table arrangements. Each wreath takes seven hours to produce, uses 12 stems of flowers, and earns a profit of $23. Each table arrangement takes five hours to produce, uses 20 stems of flowers, and earns a profit of $26. Toni can work no more than 30 hours per week and has a steady supply of 100 stems of dried flowers per week. How should Toni schedule production to optimize profit?
