1. **Problem Statement:**
We want to formulate a linear programming (LP) model for a Baby Food Manufacturing Company that produces two products, x and y, to maximize profit.
2. **Decision Variables:**
Let $x$ = number of units of product x
Let $y$ = number of units of product y
3. **Objective Function:**
Maximize profit $Z$ given by:
$$Z = 200x + 175y$$
4. **Constraints:**
- Fat constraint: product x uses 7 kg, product y uses 6 kg, maximum 540 kg
$$7x + 6y \leq 540$$
- Protein constraint: product x uses 7 kg, product y uses 15 kg, maximum 945 kg
$$7x + 15y \leq 945$$
- Carbohydrate constraint: product x uses 10 kg, product y uses 13 kg, maximum 510 kg
$$10x + 13y \leq 510$$
- Non-negativity constraints:
$$x \geq 0, \quad y \geq 0$$
5. **Final LP Model:**
Maximize
$$Z = 200x + 175y$$
Subject to:
$$\begin{cases}
7x + 6y \leq 540 \\
7x + 15y \leq 945 \\
10x + 13y \leq 510 \\
x, y \geq 0
\end{cases}$$
This completes the model formulation for the given problem.
