Suppose a car dealer has showrooms in Atherton and Berkeley and warehouses in Concord
and Dublin. The cost of delivering a car is $60 from Concord to Atherton, $45 from
Concord to Berkeley, $50 from Dublin to Atheron, and $35 from Dublin to Berkely.
Suppose that the showroom in Atherton orders 7 cars and the showroom in Berkeley
orders 4 cars. Also suppose that the warehouse in Concord has 8 cars and the warehouse in
Dublin has 6 cars available. Find the best way to minimize cost and find the minimum cost.
(Hint: Let x1 be the number of cars delivered from Concord to Atherton and x2 be the
number of cars delivered from Concord to Berkeley. Thus 7 –x1 is the number of cars
delivered from Dublin to Atherton and 4 –x2 the number of cars shipped from Dublin to
Berkeley.)
