I have a linear problem, which I want to maximize.
There are 4 candy boxes. For each of them, I have these facts:
- On selling
100candies from boxAwe earn150dollars. - On selling
400candies from boxBwe earn250dollars. - On selling
130candies from boxCwe earn190dollars. - On selling
10candies from boxDwe earn50dollars.
The problem I would like to formulate is..how to maximize the dollars earned by selling the "optimal" candies more frequently? In other words, how to find the right coefficients i.e (W)*A + (X)*B + (Y)*C + (Z)*D which can dictate the respective frequencies (or percentage distribution) with which I should sell these candies to maximize the dollars earned?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
