Decision Variables:
X1 = Units of food-1
X2 = Units of food-2
• Vitamin A constraint
5X1 + 6 X2 < 60 (units)
• Vitamin B Constraint
2X1 + 3X2 < 80 (units)
Nonnegativity:
Cannot make a negative number of chairs or tables
X1 > 0
X1 > 0
Model Summary
Min Z=5 X1 + 6 X2 (cost)
Subject to the constraints:
5 X1 + 6 X2 < 60 (Vitamin A constraint)
3 X1 + 2 X2 < 12 (Vitamin B constraint)
X1 , X2 > 0 (non negativity constraint)
