Answer:

129 bracelets and 59 necklaces will make profit of $61,750

Explanation:

Kings departments store wants to maximize profit by making a combination of its two products necklaces and bracelets. The King store should use a strategy so that it can generate maximum profit with its available rubies, diamonds and emeralds.

$250a + $500b = Maximum Profit

For rubies : 2a + 5b = 625

For Diamonds :3a + 7b = 800

For Emeralds: 4a + 3b = 700

Solving the equation we get maximum profit value of $61,750.
