Second Question

Resources Required per Event per Category

Below is the number of meals provided per event for each category and the lower and upper limit on events in the category if that category is chosen.

It was found that the optimal solution was to run $10$ food drives and $5$ concerts, providing a total of $1,990,500$ meals.

$($a$)$ Recall equation $(15\mathrm{.}1)$:

$($Sum of variables in the set O $)-($sum of variables in the set Z number of variables in the set O $)-1$

Which categories are selected and how many events of each category will be held? $($If a category is not selected, enter $0$ for the number of events.$)$

How many total meals will be provided over the year?

$794200$ X

$($b$)$ Compare the optimal solution with two category coordinators with the second best solution found in part $($a$).$

$($c$)$ Which solution would you recommend?

Unless we are very unsure of the number of valunteer hours vv $>$ available, the apbimal vv solution is preferred.
