Each 50-pound bag of fertilizer requires three ingredients, which are available in the limited quantities shown in the table. The profit on each bag of fertilizer x is 6 and on each bag of y is 5. How many bags of each product should be produced to maximize the profit? Ingredient Number of Pounds in Fertilizer x Number of Pounds in Fertilizer y Total number of Pounds Available Nitrogen 6 10 20,000 Phosphorus 8 6 16,400 Potash 6 4 12,000arrow_forwardSet up the objective function and the constraints, but do not solve.Home Furnishings has contracted to make at least 220 sofas per week, which are to be shipped to two distributors, A and B. Distributor A has a maximum capacity of 105 sofas, and distributor B has a maximum capacity of 175 sofas. It costs $14 to ship a sofa to A and $11 to ship to B. How many sofas should be produced and shipped to each distributor to minimize shipping costs? (Let x represent the number of sofas shipped to Distributor A, y the number of sofas shipped to Distributor B, and z the shipping costs in dollars.) A) Maxamize or minimize?
