Booster Shot Hot Sauce
The Booster Shot Hot Sauce Company uses dried peppers to make their
product. Specifically, they use three types of peppers: Chipotle peppers, New
Mexico peppers, and Serano peppers. The other ingredients are minimal and
can be ignored. They wish to mix up a batch that is exactly 100 kg.
In order to get the right mix they look at three characteristics: Capsaicin
— the component that contributes spiciness — must be at least 500 grams
out of the 100 kg total. Smokiness must be at least 1500 g out of the 100 kg
total. Colour must be between 7000 and 8000 points, out of the 100 kg total
batch. The contributions, per kg, from each pepper type are as follows:
per kg
Chipotle New Mexico Serano
capsaicin (grams) 2 2/3 4 18
smokiness (grams) 50 3 2
colour (points) 60 95 5
The cost per kg for the peppers is $11.75 for Chipotle, $7.50 for New Mexico,
and $9.55 for Serano.
