Chapter 15.1, Problem 83E
Exercises 81–84 are based on the classic game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. (If you’re not familiar with the game, ask someone for the rules, or look it up on Wikipedia.) Use the rules of the game to build a mathematical system. The elements are rock, paper, and scissors, and the result of the operation is which of the two elements wins the game.
83. Build the operation table for this system.

During the fall semester a school is offering science courses in physics, biology, and chemistry, and humanities courses in European history, economics, art history, and world history. How many ways can a student choose 4 courses to take if they may choose at most 2 science courses?
The Wall Street Journal reported that the age at first startup for 55% of entrepreneurs was 29 years of age or less and the age at first startup for 45% of entrepreneurs was 30 years of age or more (The Wall Street Journal, March 19, 2012).
The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each bus can transport 72 students, requires 7 chaperones, and costs $1300 to rent. Each van can transport 8 students, requires 1 chaperone, and costs $90 to rent. Since there are 720 students in the senior class that may be eligible to go on the trip, the officers must plan to accommodate at least 720 students. Since only 84 parents have volunteered to serve as chaperones, the officers must plan to use at most 84 chaperones. How many vehicles of each type should the officers rent in order to minimize the transportation costs? What are the minimal transportation costs?
