Answer:

  • P = 160x +220y
  • cost: 50x +70y ≤ 7400
  • labor: 20x +25y ≤ 3500

Explanation:

As with all cost problems, the total cost is the sum of products of number of items and item unit cost. Here, the items are acres of crops, and their unit costs are the respective cost per acre.

cost: 50x +70y ≤ 7400

Labor hours are added in similar fashion. The unit costs for labor hours are hours per acre for the different crops

labor: 20x +25y ≤ 3500

The profit function follows the same pattern:

P = 160x +220y
