A farm supply store carries 50-lb bags of both grain pellets and

grain mash for pig feed. It can store 600 bags of pig feed. At least

twice as many of its customers prefer the mash to the pellets. The

store buys the pellets for $3.75 per bag and sells them for $6.00. It

buys the mash for $2.50 per bag and sells it for $4.00. If the store

orders no more than $1400 worth of pig feed, how many bags of

mash should the store order to make the most profit?
