Question 1139313: An animal breeder can buy four types of food for Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs. Each case of Brand A contains 25 units of fiber, 30 units of protein, and 30 units of fat. Each case of Brand B contains 100 units of fiber, 80 units of protein, and 70 units of fat. Each case of Brand C contains 275 units of fiber, 210 units of protein, and 190 units of fat. Each case of Brand D contains 100 units of fiber, 80 units of protein, and 60 units of fat. How many cases of each brand should the breeder mix together to obtain a food that provides 3950 units of fiber, 3060 units of protein, and 2740 units of fat?
Let x represent the number of cases of Brand A, y represent the number of cases of Brand B, z represent the number of cases of Brand C, and w represent be the number of cases of Brand D. There are four ways in which the breeder can mix brands to obtain a food that provides 3950 units of fiber, 3060 units of protein, and 2740 units of fat.
