Aunt Anastasia operates a small business: she produces seasonal ceramic objects to sell to tourists. For the spring, she is planning to make baskets, eggs, and rabbits. Based on your discussion with your aunt you construct the following table:

Your aunt also has committed to make 25 rabbits for a charitable organization. Based on the information in the table, you formulate the problem as a linear program.

B = number of baskets produced

E = number of eggs produced

R = number of rabbits produced

MAX 2.5B + 1.5E + 2R

s.t.

0.5B + 0.333E + 0.25R 20

B + E + R 50

0.25B + 0.333E + 0.75R 80

R 25
