Formulate the given linear programming problem. Then find the optimal solution for the LP with only 2 variables. Solve using simplex method.

 

Max Z = 500x + 300y

Subject to: 

4x + 2y <= 60 (1st constraint)

2x + 4y <=  48 (2nd constraint)

x, y >= 0 (non-negativity)

 

Problem: A hog raiser is mixing two types of grains A and B. Each unit of grain A costs ₽50 and contains 20 grams of fat and 10 grams of protein. Each unit of grain B costs ₽80 and contains 30 grams of fat and 30 grams of proteins. The hog raiser wants each unit of the final product to yield at least 180 grams of fat and at least 120 grams of protein. How many units of each type of grain should he use to maximize his sales.
