After being used, a napkin can be cleaned by one of two methods: fast service or slow service. Fast service costs 50 cents per napkin, and a napkin cleaned via fast service is available for use the day after it is last used. Slow service costs 30 cents per napkin, and these napkins can be reused two days after they are last used. New napkins can be purchased for a cost of 95 cents per napkin. Determine how to minimize the cost of meeting the demand for napkins during the next four days. (Note: There are at least two possible modeling approaches, one network and one nonnetwork.
See if you can model it each way.)
