MHB Linear Programming Formulation problem faced - Maximization problem

[huiwangzi]

Hi All.

I am new here and I faced some issues in formulating the objective functions and constraints for the following scenario.

Could any kind souls assist in giving me some advices on how I can proceed to do so?


Company Y is producing two different cookies; S cookies and E cookies. The ingredients of both cookies are Flour, Sugar and Chocolate (and nothing else). The company Y has the daily supply of 100KG of Flour, 20KG of Sugar and 30 KG of Chocolate. The mixture for Cookie S must contain at least 10% of Sugar and 10% of Chocolate. The mixture for Cookie E must contain at least 20% of Sugar. Cookie E are sold at \$25 per KG and Cookie S are sold at \$20 per KG. Develop an LP formulation for Company Y to maximise their revenue from the sales of both cookies. You may assume Company Y can sell as much as cookies that they can produce.

I have come out with the following answer. However, I am not too sure if it is correct. Appreciate if anyone could help me solve my queries.

Let X1 = Sales of Cookies S from Company Y
Let X2 = Sales of Cookies E from Company Y

Max 20 X1 + 25 X2
s.t. 0.10 X1 + 0.20 X2 ≤ 20
0.20 X1 ≤ 30 Thank you!
