Each ounce of orange juice caontains 0.25 oz. of sugar and 3 mg. of vitamin CV. It costs Bevco $0.02 to produce an ounce of orange soda and $0.03 to produce an ounce of orange juice. Bevco's marketing department has decided that each 10 oz. bottle of Oranj must contain at least 20 mg. of vitamin C and at most 4 oz. of sugar. Use linear programming to determine how Bevco can meet the marketing department's requirements at minimum cost.
