  6. Objective Function • MIN: 250X1 + 300X2 + 320X3 + 150X4

  7. Constratint • X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 = 8 • (0.30X1 + 0.05X2 + 0.20X3 +0.10X4)/8 >= 0.20 • Min % of corn required • (0.10X1 + 0.30X2 + 0.15X3 + 0.10X4)/8 >= 0.15 • Min % of grain required • (0.20X1 + 0.20X2 + 0.20X3 + 0.30X4)/8 >= 0.15 • Min % of minerals required • X1, X2, X3, X4 >= 0
