Problem 14

A coffee company purchases mixed lots of coffee beans and then grades them into premium, regular, and unusable beans. The company needs at least 280 tons of premium-grade and 200 tons of regular-grade coffee beans. The company can purchase ungraded coffee from two suppliers in any amount desired. Samples from the two suppliers contain the following percentages of premium, regular, and unusable beans: $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Supplier } & \text { Premium } & \text { Regular } & \text { Unusable } \\ \hline \text { A } & 20 \% & 50 \% & 30 \% \\ \text { B } & 40 \% & 20 \% & 40 \% \\ \hline \end{array} $$ If supplier A charges $$\$ 900$$ per ton and B charges $$\$ 1200$$ per ton, how much should the company purchase from each supplier to fulfill its needs at minimum cost?

Problem 15

A farmer, in the business of growing fodder for livestock, has 90 acres available for planting alfalfa and corn. The cost of seed per acre is $$\$ 32$$ for alfalfa and $$\$ 48$$ for corn.
