An industrial water treatment plant requires 300,000 m3 of water per day. The water must be chlorinated and softened before use. The treatment process requires 100 units of a chlorination chemical and 150 units of a particular softening agent. Two alter­native types of water additive contain the chlorination chemical and softening agent. Additive A contains 3 units of the chlorination chemical and 8 units of the softening agent per package of water additive. Additive B contains 9 and 4 units of the chlori­nation chemical and softening agent per package. Water additive options A and B cost $8 and $10 per package, respectively. Formulate an LP model to determine the combination of treatment additives A and B that will minimize cost. Solve the LP problem graphically.
