Question

A summer camp wants to hire counselors aides to fill its staffing needs at minimum cost

Answer 1

8 counselors and 12 aids

Explanation:

minimum number of staff to run camp = 20

Ratio of counselors to aids to work together = 2:3

To get the multiply factor = 20 / (2 counselors + 3 aids) = 20 / 5 =4

minimum number of counselors needed = 4 x 2 = 8 counselors

minimum number of aids needed = 4 x 3 = 12 aids
