A small shoe company manufactures tennis shoes, running shoes, and bsketball shoes. Each pair of shoes requires time on a molding machine and a stiching machine as given in the table below. Each week the molding machine is available for 40 hours and the stiching machine is available for 34 hours. The company needs to produce at least 24 pairs of shoes per week. If the profit for each pair of tennis shoes is $10, for each pair of running shoes is $15, and for each pair of basketball shoes is $22, determine the number of each type of shoe that will maximize profit. What will the maximum profit be?
....................Molding------Stiching

Tennis----------------1hr.......1hr
Running--------------2hr.......1hr
Basketball----------2hr........2hr

I have already completed the problem and I am checking to see if my answer is correct. I got 8 running shoes, 6 tennis shoes, and x basketball shoes, I am leaving it x to see what you get. Thanks!
