You are moving away from Bloomington and need to load a truck. The items that will go on the truck must all be packed in boxes. The size (in cubic feet) of each item and each available box are listed in the file P06_95.xlsx. For example, the first item requires 78 cubic feet, and the first box can hold 116 cubic feet of stuff. Develop a linear integer model to find the minimum amount of cubic feet needed to pack all items in boxes.
