A transport company has two types of trucks, Type A and Type B. Type A has a refrigerated capacity of 20m and a non-refrigerated capacity of 40m while Type B has the same overall volume with equal sections for refrigerated and non-refrigerated stock. A grocer needs to hire trucks for the transport of 3,000m of refrigerated stock and 4,000m of non-refrigerated stock. The cost per kilometer of a Type A is $30, and $40 for Type B. How many trucks of each type should the grocer rent to achieve the minimum total cost? * Suppose x=type A trucks, y=type B trucks, write the objective function.
