A store has two types of animal feed available. Type A contains 7 pounds of oats and 1 pound of corn per bag. Type B contains 2 pounds of oats and 3 pounds Corn per bag. A farmer wants to combine the two types so that the resulting mixture has at least 43 pounds of oats and at least 17 pounds of corn. The store only has 14 bags of type A feed and 11 bags of type B feed in stock. Type A costs $3 per bag, and type B costs $4 per bag. How many bags of each type show the farmer buy to minimize his cost? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier. Type A feed: Type B feed: bag(s) bag(s) X S
