Two chemical plants, one at Macon and one at Jonestown, produce two types of fertilizer, low phosphorus (LP) and high phosphorus (HP). At each plant, the fertilizer is produced in a single production run, so the two types are produced in fixed proportions. The Macon plant produces 1 ton of LP and 3 tons of HP in a single operation, and it charges $600 for what is produced in one operation, whereas one operation of the Jonestown plant produces 1 ton of LP and 1 ton of HP, and it charges $1,000 for what it produces in one operation. If a customer needs at least 100 tons of LP and 180 tons of HP, how many production runs from each plant should be ordered to minimize the cost.
