I am moving from Ankara to İstanbul and have rented a truck that can haul up to 1,100 cubic feet of furniture. The volume
and value of each item I am considering moving on the truck are given below:
Item
Bedroom set
Volume (ft) Value ($)
800
600
Dining room set
600
1,000
Home theater system
50
200
Sofa
400
200
TV set
200
450
I cannot take more than one unit of any item but assume that it is possible to take a fraction of any item. For example, I can
choose to bring part of the bedroom set instead of the whole set. I want to use an LP to determine which items I should
bring.
