To make the fertilizer blend, each of the 2 fertilizer products has to contain a certain amount of weed control, nitrogen, and bug shown in the table below. The blend needs to contain at least 300 units of weed control, at least 400 units of nitrogen, and at least 750 units of bug resistance. Type S fertilizer costs $1 & Type O fertilizer costs $2.

Explanation / Answer

Let x be the units of S and y be the units of O
So,
Minimize x*1+y*2
s.t.
x+y>=300
2x+y>=400
2x+5y>=750

Hence, x=250 and y=50

Weed control comes out to be 300, nitrogen comes out to be 550, bug resistance comes out to be 750

hence, weed control and bug resistance are binding contraints
