A store has two types of animal feed available. Type A contains 9 pounds of oats and 3 pounds of corn per bag. Type B contains 2 pounds of oats and 10 B
of corn per bag. A farmer wants to combine the two types so that the resulting mixture
has at least 57 pounds of oats and at least 75 pounds of corn. The
store
only has 15 bags of type A feed and 15 bags of type B feed in stock. Type A costs $5 per
bag, and type B costs $1 per bag. How many bags of each type should
the farmer buy to minimize her cost?
Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier.
Type A feed: bag(s)
Type B feed:
