Three ships winery produces two different wine blends: A batch of the Dark Knight bleand uses 4 tons of malbec grapes and 2 tons of merlot grapes. A batch of Morning Star blend uses 2 tons of malbec grapes and 4 tons of merlot grapes. The winery has a total of 18 tons of malbec grapes, 18 tons of merlot grapes. The profit for a batch of Dark Knight is $14,500 and the profit for Morning Star is slightly less at $12,250. How many batches of each type of wine should the winery produce this year to maximize its profit, assuming half batches are allowed? Formulate a linear programming model and solve it graphically. Show equations step by step so I would better understand the problem.
