If chicken costs 10¢ per ounce and grain costs 1¢ per ounce, how many ounces of each should
Ruff use in each bag of dog food to minimize cost?

The cost of the chicken and the grain are illustrations of linear programming

The minimized cost is 12¢

How to determine the minimized cost

Represent the number of chicken with x and the number of grain with y.

So, the objective function is

Min Z = 10x + y

The constraints are not given.

So, the function cannot be minimized.

However, assume the minimum feasible values of x and y are (1,2), the minimized cost would be:

Z = 10  * 1 +  2

Z = 12

Hence, the minimized cost is 12¢
