Provide the LP formulation: decision variables, objective function and contraints:
Based on the number of students dine in Deer Park Tavern, the manager determines that following number of waiters and waitresses are needed for each day of a week:
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thur | Fri | Sat | Sun |
| 5 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 10 | 9 | 5 |
The manager hires full time workers (waiters or waitresses) who normally work consecutively for 5 days followed by 2 day off. Up to 30% of the total hired workers are allowed to work an extra day (6 consecutive days of work followed by a day off). The manager pays 50% more for the work done on the extra day. Assuming that all workers are equally paid (you may assume $1/day in the normal shift, $1.50/day for the extra day), formulate the problem as an LP to create a shift schedule for the manager to minimize the weekly operating cost.
