Problem 5.65

Posted on July 28, 2021 by Abigail Stason

As the New York City engineer, you need the following number of busses on the road, at the following shift times, and must pay the following hourly rates. Once drivers come to their shifts, they work a continuous 9 hour period, and then leave. Their pay is based on when their shift starts. For example, because the midnight shift is extremely tiring and dangerous, we have to pay a driver accepting that shift a daily salary of $16/hour * 9 hours to get them to work.

Determine how many drivers to hire, and at what hours (shifts) you should have them come to work, as well as how much it will cost to operate the bus system each day.
