At least each pound of normal should contain 60 percent annual seed, while each pound of special should contain at least 70 percent perennial seed. Green Grass has two input mixtures, A and B.

Mixture A costs 90 cents per pound and mixture B costs 50 cents per pound. Set up the constraints and the objective function to solve this blending problem.
