Chapter 9.2, Problem 2E
A dog breeder decides to feed his dogs a combination of two dog foods: Pixie Power and Misty Might. He wants the dogs to receive four nutritional factors each month. The amounts of these factors (a, b, c, and d) contained in 1 bag of each dog food are shown in the following chart, together with the total amounts needed.
| a | b | c | d | |
| Pixie Power | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| Misty Might | 2 | 4 | 3 | 1 |
| Needed | 28 | 30 | 20 | 25 |
The costs per bag are $50 for Pixie Power and $40 for Misty Might. How many bags of each dog food should be blended to meet the nutritional requirements at the lowest cost? Set this up as a linear programming problem in the following form: Minimize cTx subject to Ax ≥ b and x ≥ 0. Do not find the solution.

In baseball, a player's slugging percentage is calculated by assigning a weight of 1 to
singles, 2 to doubles, 3 to triples, and 4 to home runs. After adding these weighted
values together, you divide by the number of at-bats. Find the slugging percentage for
the following player:
Number of singles:
97
Number of doubles:
35
Number of triples:
6
Number of home runs: 36
Number of at-bats:
637
Slugging percentage:
Round your answer to three decimal places. Even though this is called slugging
"percentage," your answer should be between 0 and 1.
