Animal feed is to be made from corn and mixed seeds. One pound of corn has 30 units of fat and 20 units of protein. One pound of mixed seeds has 20 units of fat and 40 units of protein. The feed must supply a daily requirement of 2800 units of fat and 2200 units of protein. What combination of corn and mixed seeds should be used in order to make a feed that has a minimum total weight?
