Represent constraints and systems, then interpret viable and non-viable solutions in modeling contexts.
Choose the optimal feasible candidate after checking all constraints
Problem
\(\text{Three}\) viable designs have costs \(80\), \(95\), and \(70\). Determine the cost-minimizing design.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Feasibility and optimization are separate filters. Once every listed design is confirmed viable, compare them only on the stated objective—in this case, minimizing a common dollar cost. Order the costs from least to greatest and verify the minimum against every alternative before naming the corresponding design.
