Ajax Fuels, Inc., is developing a new additive for airplane fuels. The additive is a mixture of three ingredients: A, B, and C. For proper performance, the total amount of additive (amount of A amount of B amount of C) must be at least 10 ounces per gallon of fuel.

At least 1 ounce of ingredient A must be used for every ounce of ingredient B. The amount of ingredient C must be at least one-half the amount of ingredient A. If the costs per ounce for ingredients A, B, and C are , , and , respectively, find the minimum-cost mixture of A, B, and C for each gallon of airplane fuel.
