  1. the constraint for the 6pm 8pm time slot
A large local dinner is open each weekday from 6am until 8pm. Each waitstaff begins his/her shift 6-hour shift either at 6am, 8am, 10 am, noon or 2pm. To determine how many waitstaff should begin at each of the above 5 times, the owner, based on her knowledge of her customers, has determined the minimum number of waitstaff that is required during each 2-hour time slot to give her customers the service that they expect. This information, along with the wages** that are paid to each waitstaff for the 6-hour shift that they work, appears in the following table... Time slot minimum required wages for 6-hour shift ** 6am - 8am 5 $85 8am -10am 6 10am - noon noon -2pm 2pm - 4pm 5 4pm - 6pm 6pm - 8pm 15 11 $60. $85 $70. $65. 6 4 Each wage per shift is based on when the waitstaff starts his/her shift. For example, the $70 listed for the 6am-8am time slot is the wages for those starting at 6am, and, the $60 listed for the 8am-10am time slot is the wages for those starting at 8am, etc., etc... Note: No shifts start at 4pm or 6pm because they would not be able to work a full 6-hour shift.. . Using X, X, ..., Xs, to represent the number of waitstaff starting at 5am, 8am...., 4pm, formulate what is being asked for so that the owner can minimize her daily wages while satisfying all her minimum requirements. Nos are to be used anywhere in your formulations
