Romans Food Market, located in Saratoga, New York, carries a variety of specialty foods from around the world. Two of the store's leading products use the Romans Food Market name: Romans Regular Coffee and Romans DeCaf Coffee. These coffees are blends of Brazilian Natural and Colombian Mild coffee beans, which are purchased from a distributor located in New York City. Because Romans purchases large quantities, the coffee beans may be purchased on an as$-$needed basis for a price $10\%$ higher than the market price the distributor pays for the beans. The current market price is $$0\mathrm{.}47$ per pound for Brazilian Natural and $$0\mathrm{.}62$ per pound for Colombian Mild. The compositions of each coffee blend are as follows.

Bean Blend

Regular DeCaf

Brazilian Natural $75\%40\%$

Colombian Mild $25\%60\%$

Romans sells the Regular blend for $$3\mathrm{.}60$ per pound and the DeCaf blend for $$4\mathrm{.}40$ per pound. Romans would like to place an order for the Brazilian and Colombian coffee beans that will enable the production of $1,100$ pounds of Romans Regular coffee and $600$ pounds of Romans DeCaf coffee. The production cost is $$0\mathrm{.}80$ per pound for the Regular blend. Because of the extra steps required to produce DeCaf, the production cost for the DeCaf blend is $$1\mathrm{.}05$ per pound. Packaging costs for both products are $$0\mathrm{.}25$ per pound.
