Each 20-cubic-foot box of food weighs 50 pounds and each 10-cubic-foot box of clothing weighs 20 pounds. The commercial carriers transporting food and clothing are bound by the following constraints: The total weight per carrier cannot exceed 19,000 pounds. The total volume must be less than 8000 cubic feet.
