Answer:
He should serve 2 chocolate bars and 2 granola bars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define
x: amount of chocolate bar
y: amount of granola bar
We are asked to solve the following optimization problem:
maximize 7*x + 2*y
subject to
50*x + 25*y ≤ 150
5*x + 15*y ≥ 40
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
In the figure attached, the feasible region is shown. The solution is one of the vertex
vertex objective function
(0, 2.667) 7*0 + 2*2.667 = 5.334
(2, 2) 7*2 + 2*2 = 18
(0, 6) 7*0 + 2*6 = 12
