A 50-lb bag of Fertilizer B contains 5 lb each of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The minimum requirements for a field are 440 lb of nitrogen, 260 lb of phosphorus, and 360 lb of potassium. If a 50-lb bag of Fertilizer A costs $50 and a 50-lb bag of Fertilizer B costs $40, find the amount of each type of fertilizer the farmer should use to minimize his cost while still meeting the minimum requirements.
