Textbook Problem

Indiana University’s Business School has two rooms that seat 50 students, one room that seats 100 students, and one room that seats 150 students. Classes are held five hours a day. At present, the four types of requests for rooms are listed in the file P06_75.xlsx. The business school must decide how many requests of each type to assign to each type of room. Suppose that classes that cannot be assigned to a business school room are assigned to another campus building. Determine how to assign classes to minimize the number of hours students spend each week outside the business building.
