let x cost GH¢2/ft

let y cost GH¢3/ft

 ∴ Cost C = 2x(GH¢2/ft) + y (GH¢3/ft)

d2 C 64,800
dx 2 at x= - 90; is - 729,000 <0 which is maximum

∴ x= 90 and y = 90 =120 are the minimum values for x and y

For the GH¢3/ft material, amount = 3( 90 ) = 3 x 120 = GH¢360/ft
For the GH¢2/ft material, amount = 4(90) = 4 x 90 = GH¢360/ft

b) ∴ minimum cost;

C = 4(90) + 3(120) = GH¢720/ft
