Chapter 7.5 Problem 7.1.1.380

Question

Mining Ore Pearsons Metals mines two ores: R and S. The company extracts minerals A and B from each type of ore. It costs $50 per ton to extract 80 lb of A and 160 lb of B from ore R. It costs $60 per ton to extract 140 lb of A and 50 lb of B from ore S. Pearsons must produce at least 4000 lb of A and 3200 lb of B. How much of each ore should be processed to minimize cost? What is the minimum cost?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 7.5 problem number 380 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Mining Ore Pearsons Metals mines two ores: R and S. The company extracts minerals A and B from each type of ore. It costs $50 per ton to extract 80 lb of A and 160 lb of B from ore R. It costs $60 per ton to extract 140 lb of A and 50 lb of B from ore S. Pearsons must produce at least 4000 lb of A and 3200 lb of B. How much of each ore should be processed to minimize cost? What is the minimum cost?
From the textbook chapter Systems and Matrices you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
