Question

Citywide Ministries plans a five-day ski trip for children. The children may ski from one to five of the days, but the number scheduled to ski each day is the following:

DayNo. of SkiersMonday15Tuesday22Wednesday19Thursday24Friday31\begin{matrix} \text{Day} & \text{No. of Skiers}\\ \text{Monday} & \text{15}\\ \text{Tuesday} & \text{22}\\ \text{Wednesday} & \text{19}\\ \text{Thursday} & \text{24}\\ \text{Friday} & \text{31}\\ \end{matrix}

Citywide Ministries can obtain two-day lift tickets for $36 each or three-day lift tickets for$47. Find the number of tickets they should purchase for each two-day period and each three-day period so that each child can ski on the day scheduled and that minimizes the cost of lift tickets.

Step 1

Firstly we are going to set the substitution. We are going to determine the possible ways to buy a lift ticket for two days or three days in the span of five days. Since there are 44 ways to buy a two-day lift ticket and 33 ways to buy a three-day lift ticket, we are going to label those ways as x1x_1, x2x_2, x3x_3, x4x_4, x5x_5, x6x_6, and x7x_7 where x1x_1, x2x_2, x3x_3, and x4x_4 represent the lift tickets bought for first and second, second and third, third and fourth, and fourth and fifth day respectively, and x5x_5, x6x_6, and x7x_7 represent the projectors bought in a first, second and third, a second, third, and fourth, and a third, fourth, and fifth day respectively.
