A transportation model's optimal solution uses no more than 8% of cells and has 100 sources. Find the number of destinations

What will be an ideal response?


First develop equations for the number of used cells and the total number of cells. Then use the ratio given to solve for the number of destinations, assigned as variable X below.
99 + X= max number of cells used, 100X = total number of cells, (99 + X)/100X = .08
Thus X = 14.14, rounded up to 15 so as not to exceed 8%.
