Linear Programming Problem
I have this aching problem I just can not figure out. I have done one other problem similar to this, but after studying for other exams, I guess my brain is just shot. Ill post this question so that you guys can maybe take a stab at it.
Woofer Pet Foods prduces a low calorie dog food for overweight dogs. This product is made from beef products and grain. Each pound of beef costs $.90, and each pound of grain costs $.60. A pound of the dog food must contain at least 9 units of Vitamin 1 and 10 units of Vitamin 2. A pound of beef contains 10 units of Vitamin 1 and 12 units of Vitamin 2. A pound of grain coontains 6 units of Vitamin 1 and 9 units of Vitamin 2. Formulate this as a linear programming porlbme to minimize the cost of the dog food. How many pounds of beef and grain should be uncluded in each pound of dog food? What is the cost and vitamin content of the final product?
Thanks guys, i know this is a long shot, but someone must remember how to do this?
