Question

A volunteer has been asked to drop off some supplies at a facility housing victims of a hurricane evacuation. The volunteer would like to bring at least 90 bottles of water, 56 first aid kits, and 40 security blankets on his visit. The relief organization has a standing agreement with two companies that provide victim packages. Company A can provide packages of 10 water bottles, 6 first aid kits, and 4 security blankets at a cost of $3. Company B can provide packages of 9 water bottles, 4 first aid kits, and 3 security blankets at a cost of $1.50. How many of each package should the volunteer pick up to minimize the cost? What amount does the relief organization pay?
