Question 1149174: The officers of a high school senior class are planning to rent buses and vans for a class trip. Each person can transfer 80 students, require seven chaperones and cost $1400 to rent. Each van can transport 10 students requires one chaperone and cost $120 to rent. Since there are 960 students in the senior class that may be eligible to go on the trip the officers must plan to accommodate at least 960 students. Since only 91 parents have volunteered to service chaperones the officers plan to use at most 91 chaperones. How many vehicles of each type should the officers rent in order to minimize the transportation costs. What are the minimal transportation costs
