Word Problem! :0 A Spa makes $10 on each pedicure and $17 on each foot massage.?

A pedicure takes 15 minutes, a massage takes 45 minutes, and there are 3 employees who each work 8 hours per day. If the spa can schedule 50 appointments per day, how many should be pedicures and how many should be massages in order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit? Please work out for best answer :) Thank you!Word Problem! :0 A Spa makes $10 on each pedicure and $17 on each foot massage.?
Total employee hours = 8 X 3 = 24 = 1440 minutes





1440 / (15 + 45) = 24 customers per days.





Answer = 24

I think you should just have 50 pedicures but this doesnt take up all of the 24 man hours. this only takes 12.5 hours but this would make the spa the most money. its that simple fire one of your employes and let the remaining two work for 6.25 hours or better yet let one work a full 8 and the other only 2.25 so you dont have to let them take a lunch.... business is cruel lol
first off feet are nasty and they should charge more but what is the pay of the employees there is not enough information to correctly answer in my opinion
