Chapter 14, Problem 42E
While visiting a foreign country, a foreign-speaking citizen tries to give you verbal directions to a local museum. After multiple attempts, he is unsuccessful. An onlooker sees your frustration and concludes that you are not smart enough to understand simple directions. Another onlooker sympathizes with you because he knows how difficult it is to navigate through an unfamiliar city. Which onlooker is correct?

I am completely stuck. Need help. I have attached the problem. Please view attachment before answering. Please write step-by-step solution so I can fully understand.
Mr Hussar, a 76 year old patient, walks into the physician's office for his regular checkup. Mr. Hussar seems to be limping slightly as he approaches the desk to sign in for his appointment. Mrs. Jacobs, the receptionist, inquires how he is doing, to which he replies, "Fine." Mrs. Jacobs always looks forward to seeing Mr. Hussar because he is usually so cheerful and talkative, but she is disappointed when he just takes a chair in the waiting room to wait fo the doctor. She notes that Mr. Hussar is not as neatly dressed as usual nor as well groomed. What value will being able to "note variances fromt he normal" provide? What knowledge is needed to be able to determine a variance from the normal?
Use the formula for „P, to solve the following question.

- A city has two high schools. The first school has a maximum enrollment of 900 students and the second school has a maximum enrollment of 550 students. The city is divided into two regions: Inner City and Suburbs. There are at least 500 students in the Inner City region and at least 800 students in the Suburbs region. The annual transportation cost varies by region as shown in the table. Transportation Costs School 1 (Cost per student) School 2 (Cost per student) Inner City 220 260 Suburbs 200 280 Based on these constraints, what is the minimum possible annual transportation cost?
