Resource Allocation (Compare Exercise 36 in Chapter 4 Review) The Enormous State University Choral Society is planning its annual Song Festival, when it will serve three kinds of delicacies: granola treats, nutty granola treats, and nuttiest granola treats. The following table shows some of the ingredients required for a single serving of each delicacy as well as the total amount of each ingredient available:
Granola | Nutty Granola | Nuttiest Granola | Total Available | |
Toasted Oats (ounces) | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1,500 |
Almonds (ounces) | 4 | 8 | 8 | 10,000 |
Raisins (ounces) | 2 | 4 | 8 | 4,000 |
The society make a profit of 6 on each serving of granola, $8 on each serving of nuttiest granola, and $3 on each serving of nuttiest granola. Assuming that the Choral Society can sell all that it makes, how many serving of each will maximize profits? How much of each ingredient will be left over?
