Mammoth Muffler employs supervisors and helpers. According to the union contract, a supervisor does 2 brake jobs and 3 mufflers per day, whereas a helper does 6 brake
jobs and 3 mufflers per day. The home office requires enough staff for at least 24 brake
jobs and at least 18 mufflers per day. If a supervisor makes $90 per day and a helper
makes $100 per day, how many of each should be employed to satisfy the constraints
and to minimize the daily labor cost?
