Question: Harvest season is around the corner and Farmer McDonald has a limited number of days to harvest the fruit. He is wondering how to allocate his time among 3 types of fruit. The amount of fruit that he can harvest for each day of labour is as follows:

Days	Apples	Peaches	Plums
	Tons	Tons	Tons
1	24	18	16
2	22	17	13
3	20	16	12
4	18	14	11
5	16	13	10
6	14	9	9
7	12	7	8
8	8	0	7
9	4	-3	6
10	0	-5	5

Farmer McDonald has realized that he has only 9 days left before the Farmer Market Event. How does he allocate his time so that he maximizes his harvest? More specifically, how many does he spend harvesting each fruit so that he maximizes his production?
