Identify the problem : What amounts of each grade should be produced in order to yield the maximum profit?
Let:
x= tons of regular grade
y= tons of super grade
Objective Function
Maximize Profit Z
Z = 15000x + 24000y
Resource Constraints
Tons of Nitrates 0.3x + 0.4y <= 9
Tons of Phospates 0.6x + 0.3y <= 13.5
Tons of Potash 0.1x + 0.3y <=6
Non-negative Constraints
x >= 0
y >= 0
Subject to:
Maximize Profit Z Z = 15000x + 24000y
Tons of Nitrates 0.3x + 0.4y <= 9
Tons of Phospates 0.6x + 0.3y <= 13.5 (Resource Contraints)
Tons of Potash 0.1x + 0.3y <=6
x >= 0
y >= 0 (Non-negative Constraints)
Variables
x 6
y 18
Objective Function
Maximize Profit Z 522000
