A manufacturing company has three manufacturing plants located throughout the country. The company supplies four major wholesalers distributed throughout the country with a product made at these three plants. The manufacturing cost is $13 per unit at plant A, $11 per unit at plant B, and $12 per unit at plant C. The shipping cost between each plant and each wholesaler is given here. The units demanded by each wholesaler are also listed, along with the production capacity at each manufacturing plant. The company wishes to satisfy the demands of each wholesaler at minimum total cost (production plus shipping). However, no plant should be operating at less than 60% of its capacity.

a. Formulate a linear program to solve the company’s problem.
b. Solve the problem using a computer.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

answer: the 4 kilogram bag

step-by-step explanation: this is because if you divide the number of kilograms into the total it will tell you how much each individual kilogram would be worth. 2 kilos is 7 and change 3 would be around 6 ish and the 4 kilo would be 4.6 and change and the 5 kilos would be like 4.88

hope this ! have a great day.

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
