Question

A diet is being prepared for the University of Arizona dorms. The objective is to feed the students at the least cost, but the diet must have between 1,800 and 3,600 calories. No more than 1,600 calories can be starch, no fewer than 450 can be protein, and no more than 310 calories should be fat. The varied diet is to be made of two foods: A and B. Food A costs $2.20 per pound and contains 800 calories, 731 of which are protein and 69 starch. No more than 2 pounds of food A can be used per resident. Food B costs $3.10 per pound and contains 1,000 calories, of which 700 are starch, 190 are protein, and 110 are fat.

Explanation / Answer

minimize Z= 2.20A + 3.10B

subject to

CALORIES A+B<=3600

CALORIES    800A + 1000 B>=1800

STARCH    69 A+ 700B <=1600

PROTEIN 731A +190B >=450

FATS    0A +110B <310

AMOUNT A+0B<=2
