A truck rental company has two types of trucks. Type A has 20 cubic meters of refrigerated space and 40 cubic meters of non-refrigerated space, and type B has 30 cubic meters of refrigerated space and also 30 cubic meters of non-refrigerated space. A food plant must ship 900 cubic meters of refrigerated food and 1200 cubic meters of non-refrigerated food. Suppose truck A rents for $0.90 per mile and B for $1.20. Find the number of trucks of each type that the plant should rent so as to minimize cost.
