motor homes express operates two trips between two cities along the coast. motor home A has 30 suites, 20 deluxe cabins and 60 regular cabins whereas motor home B has 15 suites, 30 deluxe cabins and 50 regular cabins. The cost for running motor home A for one trip is $240,000 and the cost for running motor home B for one trip is $350,000. The company estimates that there will be demand for at least 2400 suites, 2800 deluxe cabins and 6800 regular cabins during the season.

A farmer uses two types of fertilizers. A 50-lb bag of Fertilizer A contains 8 lb of nitrogen, 2 lb of phosphorus and 4 lb of potassium. A 50-lb bag of Fertilizer B contains 5 lb each of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The minimum requirements for a field are 440 lb of nitrogen, 260 ln of phosphorus and 360 lb of potassium. If a 50- lb bag of Fertilizer A costs $30 and a 50-lb bag of Fertilizer B costs $20, find the amount of each type of fertilizer the farmer should use to minimize his cost while still meeting the minimum requirements. What is the minimum cost?
