3.17. Suppose you are a fill-dirt contractor and you have been hired to transport
400 yd3 of material across a large river. To transport the material,
a container must be constructed. The following cost data are available:
Each round trip costs $4.20 and material costs for the container are
Bottom 20.00/yd2
Sides 5.00/yd2
Ends 20.00/yd2
Design a container to minimize cost that will perform the assigned task.
