A vet is preparing a diet for a group of dogs. Each serving should be no larger than 8

ounces and must contain at least 29 units of Nutrient I and at least 20 units of Nutrient II.
The diet will be prepared from a combination of 2 brands, brand A and brand B. Each ounce
of brand A contains 3 units of Nutrient I and 4 units of Nutrient II. Each ounce of brand B
contains 5 units of Nutrient I and 2 units of Nutrient II. Brand A costs 3 cents/ounce and B
costs 4 cents/ounce. Determine how many ounces of each brand of dog food should be used
per serving in order to meet the given requirements at a minimum cost.
