Question

A gold processor has two sources of gold ore, source A and sourceB. In order to keep his plant running, at least three tons of oremust be processed each day. Ore from source A costs $20 per ton toprocess, and ore from source B costs $10 per ton to process. Costsmust be kept to less than $80 per day. Moreover, FederalRegulations require that the amount of ore from source B cannotexceed twice the amount of ore from source A. If ore from source Ayields 2 oz. of gold per ton, and ore from source B yields 3 oz. ofgold per ton, how many tons of ore from both sources must beprocessed each day to maximize the amount of gold extracted subjectto the above constraints?
