Profit A corporation manufactures candles at two locations. The cost of producing $x_{1}$ units at location 1 is $C_{1}=0.02 x_{1}^{2}+4 x_{1}+500$ and the cost of producing $x_{2}$ units at location 2 is $C_{2}=0.05 x_{2}^{2}+4 x_{2}+275$ The candles sell for 15 dollars per unit. Find the quantity that should be produced at each location to maximize the profit $P=15\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)-C_{1}-C_{2}$.
