A poultry raiser plans to raise chickens, ducks, and turkeys. He has room for only 200 birds. He wants to limit the number of turkeys to a maximum of 25, and the number of turkeys and ducks to a maximum of 100. His estimated profits are $30, $25, and $120 on each chicken, duck and turkeys respectively. How many of each bird should he raise to maximize profit?

Can someone help me tabulate this word problem and create the maximum equations and its constraint?

Start with defining variables to find:

# of chickens to raise = C

# of ducks to raise = D

# of turkeys to raise = T

continue.....

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

What I got is

Let x = number of turkeys
Let y = number of turkeys and ducks

Maximize profit: 25x + 100y I'm not sure if that's right tho.
Now I have no idea what the constraints are....
