1. **State the problem:**
Farmer Anuar wants to decide how many acres of corn ($x$) and paddy ($y$) to plant to maximize total revenue.
2. **Define variables:**
Let $x$ = acres of corn planted
Let $y$ = acres of paddy planted
3. **Write the objective function:**
Revenue from corn = $10$ bushels/acre \times $3$ per bushel \times $x = 30x$
Revenue from paddy = $25$ bushels/acre \times $4$ per bushel \times $y = 100y$
Total revenue to maximize:
$$Z = 30x + 100y$$
4. **Write the constraints:**
- Land constraint: total acres planted cannot exceed 7
$$x + y \leq 7$$
- Labor constraint: corn requires 4 hours/acre, paddy requires 10 hours/acre, total labor available is 40 hours
$$4x + 10y \leq 40$$
- Minimum corn production: at least 30 bushels of corn
$$10x \geq 30 \implies x \geq 3$$
- Non-negativity constraints:
$$x \geq 0, \quad y \geq 0$$
5. **Summary:**
Maximize
$$Z = 30x + 100y$$
subject to
$$x + y \leq 7$$
$$4x + 10y \leq 40$$
$$x \geq 3$$
$$x, y \geq 0$$
This linear program will help Farmer Anuar maximize total revenue from corn and paddy planting under the given constraints.
