maximize r = 500x + 750y + 1000z subject to
x+y+z <= 30
x/2 + y + 2z <= 3*8
The answer from the above constraints may in fact not allow for proper distribution among operating rooms, so watch out for that.
A hospital performs 3 types of operations. The first type takes 30 minutes, and they charge $500 for it. The second type takes 1 hour, and they charge $750 for it. The third operation takes 2 hours, and they charge $1000 for it. The hospital can schedule up to 30 total operations per day. Moreover, they have 3 operating rooms, each of which can be used for 8 hours per day. Determine how many of each type of operation the hospital would perform to maximize its revenue.
