Question

Formulate a linear programming problem that can be used to solve the following question.

An airline has three types of airplanes and has contracted with a tour group to provide transportation for a minimum of 86 first-class, 50 tourist, and 116 economy-class passengers. The first plane costs $4400 for the trip and can accommodate 44 first-class, 16 tourist, and 22 economy-class passengers; the second plane costs $5400 for the trip and can accommodate 8 first-class, 16 tourist, and 42 economy-class passengers; the third plane costs $5800 for the trip and can accommodate 20 first-class, 28 tourist, and 12 economy-class passengers. How many of each type of airplane should be used to minimize the operating cost?

x = number of first class passengers number of first type of airplane
y = number of tourist class passengers number of second type of airplane
z = number of third type of airplane number of economy class passengers

---Select--- Minimize Maximize	F =	(objective function)
Subject to		(first-class passengers)
		(tourist passengers)
		(economy-class passengers)
	x___ ≤, = ,≥ ,> ,or < 0, y_____ ≤, = ,≥ ,> ,or < 0, z ____≤, = ,≥ ,> ,or <	(nonnegativity constraint)
