The New England Cheese Company produces two cheese spreads by blending mild cheddar cheese with extra sharp cheddar cheese. The cheese spreads are packaged in 12-ounce containers, which are then sold to distributors throughout the Northeast. The Regular blend contains 75% mild cheddar and 25% extra sharp, and the Zesty blend contains 70% mild cheddar and 30% extra sharp. This year, a local dairy cooperative offered to provide up to 8,500 pounds of mild cheddar cheese for $1.40 per pound and up to 2,700 pounds of extra sharp cheddar cheese for $1.60 per pound. The cost to blend and package the cheese spreads, excluding the cost of the cheese, is $0.40 per container. If each container of Regular is sold for $2.20 and each container of Zesty is sold for $2.80, how many containers of Regular and Zesty should New England Cheese produce? Do not round intermediate calculations. If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number.
