Kindly note that the question is not complete. Kindly post the full question.
This problem seems to be of linear programming.
let the quanity of mild cheese cheddar be \"x\" and sharp cheese cheddar be \"y\"
orders for regular blend = 3500 containers or 3500*2 = 7,000 pounds
Thus, at least 20% of 7,000 pounds must be extra sharp. i.e 1,400 pounds and it can be maximum upto 7,000. Thus mild cheddar in regular can be upto a maximum of (7000-1400) = 5600 pounds.
orders for zesty = 4500 containers = 4500*2 = 9,000 pounds
Thus, at least 25% of 9,000 pounds must be extra sharp. i.e 2,250 pounds and it can be maximum upto 9,000. Thus mild cheddar in zesty can be upto a maximum of (9000-2250) = 6750 pounds.
