Question: The Elixer Drug Company produces a drug from two ingredients. Each ingredient contains the same three antibiotics, in different proportions. One gram of ingredient 1 contributes 3 units, and 1 gram of ingredient 2 contributes 1 unit of antibiotic 1; the drug requires 6 units. At least 4 units of antibiotic 2 are required, and the ingredients each contribute 1 unit per gram. At least 12 units of antibiotic 3 are required: a gramof ingredient 1 contributes 1 is $80, and the cost for gram of ingredient 2 is $50. The company wants to formulate a linear programming model to determine the number of gram of each ingredient that must go into the drug in order to meet the antibiotic requirements at the minimum cost.
