Question 1
The linear programming model below was solved by computer
Маximize Z 3D 5х, + 20х2 + 14xз
Subject to:
Labour 5x1 + 6x2+ 4x3 < 210 hours
Machine 4x1 + 2x2 + 5x3< 170 minutes
Material 10x,+8x2+ 5x3< 200 pounds
X1,X2,X3 2 0
where x1 = quantity of product 1
X2 = quantity of product 2
X3 = quantity of product 3
The following information was obtained from the output.
Total profit = 548.00
