Problem 61
Doctor Rug sells rug-cleaning machines. The EZ model weighs 10 pounds and comes in a 10-cubic-foot box. The compact model weighs 20 pounds and comes in an 8 -cubic-foot box. The commercial model weighs 60 pounds and comes in a 28 -cubic-foot box. Each of the company's delivery vans has 248 cubic feet of space and can hold a maximum of 440 pounds. Find all possible ways in which the three types of boxes can be loaded into the van so that the boxes require the maximum space of 248 cubic feet and weigh exactly 440 pounds. Assume that a fraction of a box cannot be loaded.
