Q: There are three manufacturing plants on Lake Chinquapin: 1, 2, and 3. Each factory emits two types of pollutants, P1 and P2, into the water. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the lake can be reduced. It costs $15 to process one ton of Factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by .10 ton and the amount of P2 by .45 ton. It costs $10 to process one ton of Factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by .20 ton and the amount of P2 by .25 ton. It costs $20 to process one ton of Factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by .40 ton and the amount of P2 by .30 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 30 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 40 tons. Determine how to minimize the cost of reducing pollutants to the desired amounts.
