Any tips on how to approach optimization problems + break them down would be greatly appreciated.

There’s no true general approach to this; it depends on the problem, really. Sometimes your constraints will require the use of Lagrange Multipliers, but in a basic question like this the procedure is usually the same. Find the equation that describes the quantity you want to optimize and find the zeros of the derivative.
