A manufacturer purchases a part for use at both of its plants-one at Roseville, CA, the other at Akron, OH. The part is available in limited quantities from two suppliers. Each supplier has 75 units available. The Roseville plant needs 35 units, and the Akron plant requires 75 units. The first supplier charges $70 per unit delivered to Roseville and $90 per unit delivered to Akron. Corresponding costs from the second supplier are $80 and $120. The manufacturer wants to order a total of 75 units from the first, less expensive, supplier, with the remaining 35 units to come from the second supplier. If the company spends $9750 to purchase the required number of units for the two plants, find the number of units that should be purchased from each supplier for each plant.
P.S. please show the necesarry setup needed to solve this problem.
