Now assume that the area of the warehouse in Q2 is limited to 450 m?. How many
of each appliance should they buy if they want to maximise profit and how much is
the store's profit reduced when they sell the goods?
Аppliance
Clothes dryer
Number
Coffee machine
Refrigerator
Stereo
Washing machine
Махimum profit
Profit reduction
You will notice that in this second case the solution no longer involved buying
integer numbers of appliances. Is there a way to instruct the solver to only choose
integers?
