Formulate the following word problem as a linear programming problem. (Note that the natural constraints r > 0, y > 0, z > 0, have been omitted from the answers.) Do not attempt to solve it! The Flustard is an animal that eats three foods: squerps, fleebs, and blurds. A squerp costs $8 and provides 26 mg (milligrams) of mertle, 15 mg of perkle, and 29 mg of kerple. A fleeb costs $5 and provides 6 mg of mertle, 21 mg of perkle, and 9 mg of kerple. A blurd costs $3 and provides 21 mg of mertle, 17 mg of perkle, and 25 mg of kerple. The Flustard needs at least 0.7 g (grams) of mertle, 1.3 g of perkle, and 1 g of kerple every day to live. What's the cheapest way to feed your pet Flustard for one day? Use the variables # squerps # fleebs # blurds.

Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

The Flustard is an animal that eats three foods: squerps, fleebs, and blurds. A squerp
costs $8 and provides 26 mg (milligrams) of mertle, 15 mg of perkle, and 29 mg of
kerple. A fleeb costs $5 and provides 6 mg of mertle, 21 mg of perkle, and 9 mg of
kerple. A blurd costs $3 and provides 21 mg of mertle, 17 mg of perkle, and 25 mg of
kerple. The Flustard needs at least 0.7 g (grams) of mertle, 1.3 g of perkle, and 1 g of
kerple every day to live. What's the cheapest way to feed your pet Flustard for one
day? Use the variables
* = # squerps
y = # fleebs
= # blurds.
(Note: 1 g. = 1000 mg.)
