Default How do I calculate maximum with variables.

How do I find the limits given a set of information. IE x is 100-200, y is
50-300 and x+y=275. x generates $50 per unit and y generates $25 per unit.

Thank you,

You can certainly do this with Excel's Solver tool!

Excel is not needed

Because x generates more money per unit than y, just maximize x.

Therefore x=200
y=75
tota value=11875

Thank you for the advice. It seems that this is more complicated than I
originally anticipated, but I think I should be able to get it now.
