Problem 1

a. Set up the following: (10 points)

i. Variables
A = number of pounds of Chemical A to be produced
B = number of pounds of Chemical B to be produced
C = Cost

ii. Constraints
A + 7B ≥ 175
3A + B ≥ 150
A + B ≥ 100
A≥0
B≥0

iii. Objective Function

C = 8A + 6B

b. Find the minimum cost (10 points)

(0,150)
C = 8A + 6B
C = 8(0) + 6(150)
C = 0 + 900 = ₱ 900

(25,75)
C = 8A + 6B
C = 8(25) + 6(75)
C = 200+ 450 = ₱ 650 minimum cost

(87.5 , 12.5)
C = 8A + 6B
C = 8(87.5) + 6(12.5)
C = 700+ 75= ₱ 775

(175,0)
C = 8A + 6B
C = 8(175) + 6(0)
C = 1,400 + 0 = ₱ 1,400

c. Determine the best combination of the ingredients to minimize the cost. (10 points)

The best combination of ingredients to minimize the cost is the combination of 25 pounds of Chemical A and 75 pounds
of Chemical B. A = 25 pounds , B = 75 pounds
Problem 2

a. Set up the following: (10 points)

i. Variables
S = small van
L = large van
P = number of passengers

ii. Constraints
10,000S + 20,000L ≤ 100,000
100S +75L ≤ 500
S≥0
L≥0

iii. Objective Function

P = 7S + 15L

b. How many of each type of van should they purchase if they want to maximize the number of passengers?
(10 points)

S=0,L=5
To maximize the number of passengers, they should purchase 5 large vans.

(0,5)
P = 7S + 15L
P = 7(0) + 15(5)
P = 0 + 75 = 75 maximum passengers

(5,0)
P = 7S + 15L
P = 7(5) + 15(0)
P = 35 + 0 = 35

(2,4)
P = 7S + 15L
P = 7(2) + 15(4)
P = 14 + 60 = 74

(0,0)
P = 7S + 15L
P = 7(0) + 15(0)
P=0+0=0
