Linear Programming Example
Linear Programming Example
1) “Yum’s Bakery bakes two breads, A and B. One batch of A uses 5 pounds of
oats and 3 pounds of flour. One batch of B uses 2 pounds of oats and 3 pounds
of flour. The company has 180 pounds of oats and 135 pounds of flour available.
Write the constraints for the problem and graph the feasible region.”
2) “Yum’s Bakery wants to maximize its profit from bread sales. One batch of A
yields a profit of $40. One batch of B yields a profit of $30. Use the profit
information and the data from [the first problem] to find how many batches of
each bread the bakery should bake.”
