Multilever manufactures a snack mix called Trail-Mashup^TM by blending three ingredients: a dried fruit mixture, a nut mixture, and a cereal mixture. Information about the three ingredients (per ounce) is shown below.

Ingredient	Cost	Volume (cups per Ounce)	Fat Grams	Calories
Dried Fruit	.35	.5 Cup	0	150
Nut Mix	.50	.35 Cup	10	400
Cereal Mix	.20	1 Cup	1	50

The company needs to develop a linear programming model whose solution would tell them how many ounces of each mix to put into the Trail-Mashup^TM blend. Trail-Mashup^TM must be packaged in boxes that are 3 cups in size. The blend should contain 1000 calories, and no more than 25 grams of fat. Nuts must be more than 35% of the mixture. Dried Fruit must be more than 25%, but less than 50% of the mixture. Cereal must be less than 70% of the mixture.

1. Write a linear programming model in the space below that meets these restrictions and minimizes the cost of the blend.
2. What is the optimal mix (round to 2 decimal places), and minimum cost, of the ingredients?
