All values needed to answer the question are given: Romans Food Market, located in Saratoga, New York, carries a variety of specialty foods from around the world. Two of the store$$s leading products use the Romans Food Market name: Romans Regular Coffee and Romans DeCaf Coffee. These coffees are blends of Brazilian Natural and Colombian Mild coffee beans, which are purchased from a distributor located in New York City. Because Romans purchases large quantities, the coffee beans may be purchased on an as$-$needed basis for a price $12\%$ higher than the market price the distributor pays for the beans. The current market price is $$0\mathrm{.}45$ per pound for Brazilian Natural and $$0\mathrm{.}67$ per pound for Colombian Mild. The compositions of each coffee blend are as follows:

Blend

Bean Regular DeCaf

Brazilian Natural $60\%40\%$

Colombian Mild $40\%60\%$

Romans sells the Regular blend for $$3\mathrm{.}3$ per pound and the DeCaf blend for $$4\mathrm{.}5$ per pound. Romans would like to place an order for the Brazilian and Colombian coffee beans that will enable the production of $1100$ pounds of Romans Regular coffee and $525$ pounds of Romans DeCaf coffee. The production cost is $$0\mathrm{.}84$ per pound for the Regular blend. Because of the extra steps required to produce DeCaf, the production cost for the DeCaf blend is $$1\mathrm{.}08$ per pound. Packaging costs for both products are $$0\mathrm{.}25$ per pound. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the pounds of Brazilian Natural and Colombian Mild that will maximize the total contribution to profit.

Let BR $=$ pounds of Brazilian beans purchased to produce Regular

BD $=$ pounds of Brazilian beans purchased to produce DeCaf

CR $=$ pounds of Colombian beans purchased to produce Regular
