Lp Profit Max
1. **State the problem:**
We want to maximize the profit from products A and B given constraints on sales, availability, and raw material usage.
2. **Define variables:**
Let $x$ = units of product A produced per day.
Let $y$ = units of product B produced per day.
3. **Constraints:**
- At least 80% of total sales are from A and B combined, so $x + y \geq 0.8(x + y)$ is always true, so this is redundant.
- Maximum daily availability is 240 lb of raw material.
- Usage rates: 2 lb per unit of A, 4 lb per unit of B.
- So, raw material constraint: $$2x + 4y \leq 240$$
- Maximum units for A is 60, so $$x \leq 60$$
- Non-negativity: $$x \geq 0, y \geq 0$$
4. **Profit function to maximize:**
$$P = 20x + 50y$$
5. **Summarize constraints:**
$$\begin{cases} 2x + 4y \leq 240 \\ x \leq 60 \\ x \geq 0 \\ y \geq 0 \end{cases}$$
6. **Find corner points of feasible region:**
- When $x=0$, $2(0) + 4y \leq 240 \Rightarrow y \leq 60$
- When $y=0$, $2x + 0 \leq 240 \Rightarrow x \leq 120$, but $x \leq 60$ limits $x$ to 60.
- Intersection of $2x + 4y = 240$ and $x=60$:
$$2(60) + 4y = 240 \Rightarrow 120 + 4y = 240 \Rightarrow 4y = 120 \Rightarrow y = 30$$
7. **Evaluate profit at corner points:**
- At $(0,0)$: $P=0$
- At $(0,60)$: $P=20(0)+50(60)=3000$
- At $(60,0)$: $P=20(60)+50(0)=1200$
- At $(60,30)$: $P=20(60)+50(30)=1200+1500=2700$
8. **Conclusion:**
Maximum profit is $3000$ at $x=0$, $y=60$.
Final answer: Produce 0 units of A and 60 units of B for maximum profit of 3000.
