Chapter 8.6, Problem 20E

To determine

To calculate: The number of American and British planes that were used to maximize cargo capacity which is used to bring food and clothing and other supplies to the more than $2$ million people in West Berlin. The capacity of cargo was $30,000$ cubic feet for an American plane and $20,000$ cubic feet for British plane. The constraints on the cargo capacity are that no more than $44$ planes could be used, the larger American plane required $16$ personnel per flight, and double in British plane, the total number of personnel cannot exceed $512$. The cost of an American flight was $\$9000$ and for an British plane $\$5000$ and the total weekly cost cannot exceed $\$300000$.
