I am having real trouble with this problem and I was hoping that someone could help me set it up

A clothing manufacturer has 100m of silk and 180m of wool. To make a suit requires 2m of silk and 3m of wool, and to make a dress requires 1m of silk and 2m of wool. If the profit on a suit is $108 and the profit on a dress is $60, how many suits and dresses should the manufacturer make to maximize profit?
 
I may be missing something (probably am), but how can we calculate profit without knowing the cost?. The cost of material is not indicated.
 
s=suits, d=dresses
You need to maximize 108s + 60d
where 2s +d =< 100 and 3s + 2d =< 180

Methinks you had too many Buds last night, galactus :lol:
 
I said I probably missed something. Anyway, I don't drink. :D
