mean that at least 75% of the places must be given to US students but the remainder may be
given to non-US citizens. There are 5000 residential places available on campus.
All overseas students and at least one-quarter of the US students must be given places on
campus. The university get $12000 in tuition fees for each US student and $15000 for each
overseas student. It wants to maximize the fees received.
