20 WSP Publishing sells textbooks to college students.

WSP has two sales reps available to assign to the A–G state area. The number of college students (in thousands) in each state is given in Figure 9. Each sales rep must be assigned to two adjacent states. For example, a sales rep could be assigned to A and B, but not A and D. WSP’s goal is to

maximize the number of total students in the states assigned to the sales reps. Formulate an IP whose solution will tell you where to assign the sales reps. Then use LINDO to solve your IP.
