LPP Formulation
Problem No. 1.1: A candy manufacturer has 130 pounds of chocolatecovered cherries and 170 pounds of chocolate-covered mints in stock. He
decides to sell them in the form of two different mixtures. One mixture will
contain half cherries and half mints by weight and will sell for $2.00 per
pound. The other mixture will contain one-third cherries and two-thirds mints
by weight and will sell for $1.25 per pound. How many pounds of each
mixture should the candy manufacturer prepare in order to maximize his
sales revenue?
Problem No. 1.2: A company manufactures 3 products a, b and c, which
sells 14, 15 and 22 per unit respectively. These prices are constant and
independent of the market state they are addressed to, and it is also
supposed that any produced quantity can be sold. For the manufacturing of
these products four types of raw materials are required. The prices of raw
materials, the raw material units needed for each product type and the
corresponding available quantities within a certain time period are included
in the following table.

The company's goal is to determine the quantities of each product which

should be produced in order to achieve the highest profit.
