IngredientCostVolumeFat GramsCalories
Dried Fruit0.401/4 cup0160
Nut Mix0.603/8 cup9390
Cereal Mix0.251 cup260

The company needs to develop a linear programming model whosesolution would tell them how many ounces of each mix to put intothe TrailTime blend. TrailTime is packaged in boxes that will holdbetween three and four cups. The blend should contain no more than1,100 calories and no more than 30 grams of fat. Dried fruit mustbe at least 25% of the volume (in cups) of the mixture, and nutsmust be no more than 20% of the weight (in ounces) of themixture.
