hi,
Any help would be appreciated...
What's the method to add a ratio constraint in Excel Solver when there are more than 2 variables?
If I have 3 variables for a mixture to be made... Foo, bar, jar and looking to find the (min) optimized solution mix in Solver for each ingredient, with the following constraints:
1) the total of all 3 ingredients <=1000 kg
2) Foo>=300 kg; Rs 10/kg
3) Bar>=200 kg; Rs 50/kg
4) Jar>=100 kg; Rs 60/kg
5) (and this is my problem) but the ratio of Jar to the rest of the ingredients is 1:4
6) Obj Function: min total cost
The part where I'm getting stuck is figuring out how to set up the constraint: "ratio of Jar must be in a 1:4 ratio in the optimized mix in Solver".
Help?
