Question

A dog breeder plans to mix two types of food to make a mix of low cost

Answer 1

Answer:

• 3.75 bags of ChowChow
• 0.75 bags of Kibble

Step-by-step explanation:

The constraints on protein, minerals, and vitamins give rise to the inequalities ...

  40c +30k ≥ 150 . . . . . . required protein

  20c +20k ≥ 90 . . . . . . required minerals

  10c +30k ≥ 60 . . . . . . . required vitamins

And we want to minimize 10c +12k.

The graph shows the vertices of the feasible region in (c, k) coordinates. The one that minimizes cost is (c, k) = (3.75, 0.75).

To minimize cost, the daily feed should be ...

• 3.75 bags of ChowChow
• 0.75 bags of Kibble

Daily cost will be $46.50.
