A zookeeper has a walrus with a nutritional deficiency. She wants to make sure the walrus consumes at least 2800 mg of iron, 2100 mg of vitamin B-1, and 1200 mg of vitamin B-2. One Maxivite pill contains 300 mg of iron, 100 mg of vitamin B-1, and 50 mg of vitamin B-2, and costs $0.08. One Healthovite pill provides 100 mg of iron, 150 mg of vitamin B-1, and 150 mg of vitamin B-2, and costs $0.07. Complete parts (a) (c) below. (a) What combination of Maxivite and Healthovite pills will meet the walrus's requirement at lowest cost? What is the lowest cost? Set up the linear programming problem. Let m represent the number of Maxivite pills, h represent the number of Healthovite pills, and c represent the total cost in dollars. subject to C= 300m + 100h 100m + 150h 50m + 150h m≥0, h > 0. (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expressions. Do not include the $ symbol in your answers.)
