What are the maximum number of teams that may be sponsored


LP1 The Really Big Shoe (RBS) is a manufacturer of basketball and football shoes. Ed must decide the best way to spend advertising resources. Each football team sponsored requires 120 pairs of shoes. Each basketball team requires 32 pairs of shoes. Football coaches receive $300,000 for shoe sponsorship and basketball coaches receive $1,000,000. Ed’s promotional budget is $30,000,000. The RBS has a limited supply (4 liters or 4000 cubic centimeters) of flubber, a rare and costly compound used in promotional athletic shoes. Each pair of basketball shoes requires 3 cc of flubber and each pair of football shoes requires 1 cc of flubber. Ed wants to sponsor as many basketball and football teams as resources will allow. What are the maximum number of teams that may be sponsored? Formulate the linear program. Solve it graphically.
