A dietician has learned from a nutrition book that his family needs at least 300 grams of protein and at
least 60 milligrams of iron per day for sound health. These nutrients can be obtained from meat and
vegetable products. On the average, each pound of meat cost Php 60 with 150 grams of protein and 15
milligrams of iron; while vegetables are at Php 15 with 10 grams of protein and 5 milligrams of iron. The
dietician wants to determine the quantities of food that will meet the nutritional requirements at the least
possible cost.
1. What are the decision variables?
Let: x = meat; y = vegetables
2. 15x + 5y ≥ 60
Solution:
15x + 5(0) ≥ 60 15(0) + 5y ≥ 60
15 x 60 5 y 60
= =
15 15 5 5
x=4 y = 12
3. x, y ≥ 0
Checking (0,0)
150x + 10y ≥ 300
150(0) + 10(0) ≥ 300
0 ≥ 300 (did not satisfy the constraint)
(hindi na satisfy yung constraint so hindi pwedeng maging (0,0) yung intersection kasi mas
maliit yung 0 sa 300)
Infinite or extend din talaga yung feasible region kasi madami naman talaga options or
pagbibilhan ng meat and vegetables
1. 4x +2y ≤ 60
Solution:
4x +2y ≤ 60 4x +2y ≤ 60
4x +2(0) ≤ 60 4(0) +2y ≤ 60
4 x 60 2 y 60

x ≤15 y ≤ 30
2. 2x +4y ≤ 48
2x +4y ≤ 48 2x +4y ≤ 48
2x +4(0) ≤ 48 2(0) +4y ≤ 48
2 x 48 4 y 48
≤ ≤
2 2 4 4
x ≤ 24 y ≤ 12
4x +2y = 60 −6 y −36
=
−6 −6
-4x –8y = -96 (subtraction)
y=6
0 – 6y = -36
4x +2(6) ≤ 60
4x +12 ≤ 60 4 x 48
=
4 4
4x ≤ 60 -12
x = 12
SOLUTION FOR MAXIMUM PROFIT
p = 80x + 60y
a) p = 80(15) + 60(0) = 1,200
b) p = 80(0) + 60(12) = 720
c) p = 80(12) + 60(6) = 1,320
Light Yagami’s Furniture Shop should produce 12 book cabinets and 6 dressers in order to produce the
maximum profit of 1,320 per week.
