Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 42RE
Construction A contractor builds boathouses in two basic models, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Each Atlantic model requires 1000 ft of framing lumber, 3000 ft3 of concrete, and $2000 for advertising. Each Pacific model requires 2000 ft of framing lumber, 3000 ft3 of concrete, and $3000 for advertising. Contracts call for using at least 8000 ft of framing lumber, 18,000 ft3 of concrete, and $15,000 worth of advertising. If the construction cost for each Atlantic model is $30,000 and the construction cost for each Pacific model is $40,000, how many of each model should be built to minimize construction costs?

A contractor, Susan Meyer, has to haul gravel to three building sites. She can purchase as much as 18 tons at a gravel pit in the north
of the city and 14 tons at one in the south. She needs 10, 5, and 10 tons at sites 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The purchase price per ton
at each gravel pit and the hauling cost per ton are given in the table below. Susan wishes to determine how much to haul from each pit
to each site to minimize the total cost for purchasing and hauling gravel.

Now suppose that trucks (and their drivers) need to be hired to do the hauling, where each truck can only be used to haul gravel from
a single pit to a single site. Each truck can haul 5 tons, and the cost per truck is five times the hauling cost per ton given above. Only
full trucks would be used to supply each site.

A construction company needs to dig a hole and fill it with gravel. The company has two
options. The first is to dig a hole in the shape of a right rectangular prism that is 5 meters
long, 3.5 meters wide, and 3 meters high and fill it with a gravel that costs $14.50 per cubic
meter. The other option is to dig a hole in the shape of a right rectangular prism that is 4
meters long, 3 meters wide, and 3.5 meters high and fill it with a gravel that costs $15.75
per cubic meter. Which option will cost the construction company less to dig and fill? You
