A factory has to transport raw materials to a project site. The total weight of the raw material will not be less than 1,500 tons. The factory manager plans to use two different trucking firms. Big Red has heavy-duty trucks that can transport 200 tons at a cost of $50 per truckload. Common Joe is a more economical firm, costing only $20 per load, but its trucks can transport only 90 tons. The factory manager does not wish to spend more than $450 on transportation. The availability of trucks is the same for both firms. Part A
