3. A farmer plans to mix two types of food to make a mix of low cost feed for the

animals in his farm. A bag of food A costs $10 and contains 40 units of

proteins, 20 units of minerals and 10 units of vitamins. A bag of food B costs

$12 and contains 30 units of proteins, 20 units of minerals and 30 units of

vitamins. How many bags of food A and B should the consumed by the

animals each day in order to meet the minimum daily requirements of 150

units of proteins, 90 units of minerals and 60 units of vitamins at a minimum

cost?
2. A company produces two types of tables, T1 and T2. It takes 2 hours to

produce the parts of one unit of T1, 1 hour to assemble and 2 hours to

polish.It takes 4 hours to produce the parts of one unit of T2, 2.5 hour to

assemble and 1.5 hours to polish. Per month, 7000 hours are available for

producing the parts, 4000 hours for assembling the parts and 5500 hours for

polishing the tables. The profit per unit of T1 is $90 and per unit of T2 is $110.

How many of each type of tables should be produced in order to maximize the

total monthly profit?
1. A store sells two types of toys, A and B. The store owner pays $8 and $14 for

each one unit of toy A and B respectively. One unit of toys A yields a profit of

invest more than $20,000 in inventory of these toys. How many units of each

type of toys should be stocked in order to maximize his monthly total profit
