Answer:
Constraint A is represented by 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
Explanation:
Linear programming is a mathematical model that is used to solve a problem when a firm wants to maximize profit in the midst of multiple resource constraints.
The following steps should be followed:
<em>Step 1: Define the variables</em>
x= the gallons of oil-based paint
y= the gallons of water-based paint
<em>Step 2: Define the constraints:</em>
The constraints represent the limitations which could be resource; in this case ingredients A and B. Since the constraint in focus is A, so we only consider A
Constraint A = 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
Non-negativity constraints x, y ≥ 0
Since the total inventory amount of ingredient A available is 10,000 gallons then the total consumption can either be equal to or less than 10,000, but can never be higher than 10,000
Constraint A is represented by 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
