Allocating storage mason chemical company is preparing to


Allocating Storage Mason Chemical Company is preparing to deliver volumes of three chemical products to a large customer. Chemicals A, B, and C have pending orders of 4700, 4100, and 3100 gallons, respectively. Mason has one large delivery truck available with nominally enough storage space to carry the required volume. However, the chemicals must not be mixed; they must be kept in segregated holding compartments. The truck's storage is partitioned into five storage areas which hold 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600, and 2800 gallons. Because of the segregation requirement, it may not be possible to deliver the full order, in which case Mason wants to deliver the largest possible volume. How should the five compartments be filled to optimize the delivery volume?
