Question
100%

To graduate from Pace University with a major in operations research (OR), a student must complete at least two math courses, at least two OR courses, and at least two computer courses.

Some courses can be used to fulfill more than one requirement:

  • Calculus can fulfill the math requirement
  • Operations Research can fulfill the math and OR requirements
  • Data Structures can fulfill the computer and math requirements
  • Business Statistics can fulfill the math and OR requirements
  • Computer Simulation can fulfill the OR and computer requirements
  • Introduction to Computer Programming can fulfill the computer requirement
  • Forecasting can fulfill the OR and math requirements.

Complete this template (show all formulas) and use Solver to minimize the number of courses needed to satisfy the major requirements (there could be multiple optimal solutions). Please also paste any Solver window used as well - thanks!

I will also attach a screenshot of the excel template for convinience and to help replicate.
