Question

The Nutty Nut Company has just purchased the following quantities of nut:

Type of nut Quantity in Pounds
Almonds  6000
Brazil 7500
Filberts 7500
Pecans  4000
Walnuts 7500

They would like to package these nuts in 1-pound bags and are presently considering producing a
regular mix (consisting of 10% pecans, 15% almonds, 25% filberts, 25% Brazil, 25% walnuts), a
deluxe mix (20% of each type of nut), and individual bags of each type of nuts. The profit figures for
each bag they produce are as follows:

Type of Bag  Profit/Bag
Regular Mix $0.20
Deluxe Mix $0.25
Almonds $0.05
Brazil $0.10
Filberts $0.10
Pecans $0.05
Walnuts $0.15

Formulate ONLY the linear program that World Wide could use to determine how many bags of
each type should be produced in order to maximize profit
