A grain store has six types of grain, each varying in cost, quality, and nutritional content. Periodically, excess inventory of these grains are consolidated into two local products, Feed-M-All and Supreme-Feed.

These feeds are advertised as having the following nutritional content: The component grains have the following content characteristics:
Targets for Feed-M-All are a cost of $ 4.35 per 10-pound bag, a quality rating of 2.25, along with the minimum percentages of protein and fat, and the maximum percentage of carbohydrates. Similar targets are set for Supreme-Feed with cost set at $ 4.60 and quality at 2.45. There must be at least a 70%-30% mix among these two local feeds.
