all of the details are here
Fred's flower shop creates and sells two types of speciality bouquets. One is a native bush-flower bouquet and the other is a tropical delights bouquet. Let \( x \) be the number of native bush-flower bouquets (in tens of units) and \( y \) be the number of tropical delight bouquets (in tens of units) sold per month. Fred's profit is a function of these two variables. Fred knows that the monthly demand for his native bushflower bouquet is given by \( 80-4 x \) dollars whilst the monthly demand for the tropical delights bouquet is given by \( 60-2 y \) dollars. He also knows that the joint cost of producing these two bouquets is \( 4 x y-4 \) (in tens of dollars) each month. (a) Determine Fred's monthly profit function \( P(x, y) \). (b) Find any critical point(s) that satisfy both \( P_{x}=0 \) and \( P_{y}=0 \). (c) Use the second derivative test to determine how many of each bouquet Fred must sell to maximise his monthly profit. (d) Calculate Fred's maximum monthly profit.
