A zoo veterinarian can purchase animal food of 4 different types, A, B, C, and D. Each food comes in the same size bag, and the number of grams of each of three nutrients in each bag are summarized in the following table. Use this information to answer the questions that follow.  FoodFor one animal, she determines that she needs to combine these bags to get 9000 g of N1, 19,000 g of N2, and 17,000 g of N3. Use the matrix operations on a graphing calculator to determine how many bags of each type of food should she order.

What will be an ideal response?


A = 3D; B = 800 - 2D; C = 500 - D;  D = any amount (? 400)
