A paving company delivers gravel for a road construction project. The company has a large truck and a small truck. The large truck has a greater capacity, but costs more for fuel to operate. The load capacity and cost to operate each truck per load are given in the table.
The company must deliver at least
a. Determine the number of trips that should be made by the large truck and the number of trips that should be made by the small truck to minimize cost.
b. What is the minimum cost to deliver gravel under these constraints?
