production capacity (in tons per day) for each grade, as follows:

Aluminum
Grade 1 2
High 6 2
Medium 2 2
Low 4 10
The company has contracted with a manufacturing firm to supply at least 12 tons of high-grade aluminum, 8 tons of medium-grade aluminum, and 5
tons of low-grade aluminum. It costs United $6,000 per day to operate mill 1 and $7,000 per day to operate mill 2. The company wants to know the
number of days to operate each mill in order to meet the contract at the minimum cost.
