Linear Programming Example 1

A refinery must produce 100 gallons of gasoline and 160 gallons of diesel to meet customer demands. The refinery would like to minimize the cost of crude and two crude options exist. The less expensive crude costs $80 USD per barrel while a more expensive crude costs $95 USD per barrel. Each barrel of the less expensive crude produces 10 gallons of gasoline and 20 gallons of diesel. Each barrel of the more expensive crude produces 15 gallons of both gasoline and diesel. Find the number of barrels of each crude that will minimize the refinery cost while satisfying the customer demands.
