Let x be the number of American planes and y be the number of British planes. Let C be the amount of total cargo. The objective function is:
C = 30,000x + 20,000y
Constraints:
- No more than 48 planes can be used: x + y ≤ 48
- The larger American planes require 12 personnel per flight, double that of the requirement for British planes. The number of personnel available is 444.: 12x + 6y ≤ 444
- Since you can't have a negative number of planes, you also want x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0
Can you finish it from here?
