The average time

(in minutes) it takes for an ambulance to respond to a call from district 1 is 40  3x1; for district 2, the time is 50  4x2. Gotham City has three goals (listed in order of priority):

■ Goal 1: At most $100,000 per year should be spent on ambulance service.

■ Goal 2: Average response time in district 1 should be at most five minutes.

■ Goal 3: Average response time in district 2 should be at most five minutes.

a. Use goal programming to determine how many ambulances to assign to each district.

b. How does your answer change if goal 2 has the highest priority, then goal 3, and then goal 1?
