If each sedan costs her $16,800 and each SUV costs her $19,000, and fixed costs are $1,100 per day, what price should she charge for the sedans and the SUVs to maximize profit? [Hint: Let x be the number of $400 price decreases for sedans and y be the number of $600 price decreases for SUVs, and use the
