Leary Chemical manufactures three chemicals: A, B, and C. These chemicals are produced via two production processes: 1 and 2. 1 for an hour costs $4 and yields 3 units of A, 1 unit of B, and 1 unit of C. Running process 2 for an hour costs $1 and yields 1 unit of A and 1 unit of B. To meet customer demands, at least 10 units of A, 5 units of B, and 3 units of C m Use Solver to determine a daily production plan that minimizes the cost of meeting Leary's daily demands.

o production processes: 1 and 2. Running process n hour costs ts of B, and 3 units of C must be produced daily.
