Solve the problem.Formulate the following problem as a linear programming problem (DO NOT SOLVE).A company which produces three kinds of spaghetti sauce has two plants. The East plant produces 3,500 jars of plain sauce, 6,500 jars of sauce with mushrooms, and 3,000 jars of hot spicy sauce per day. The West plant produces 2,500 jars of plain sauce, 2,000 jars of sauce with mushrooms, and 1,500 jars of hot spicy sauce per day. The cost to operate the East plant is $8,500 per day and the cost to operate the West plant is $9,500 per day. How many days should each plant operate to minimize cost and to fill an order for at least 8,000 jars of plain sauce, 9,000 jars of sauce with mushrooms, and 6,000 jars of hot spicy sauce? (Let x1 equal the number of days East plant should operate and

x2 the number of days West plant should operate.) What will be an ideal response?
