Question: Brooks City has three consolidated high schools, each with a capacity of 1,200 students. The school board has partitioned the city into five busing districts-north, south, east, west, and central-each with different high school student populations. The three schools are located in the central, west, and south districts. Some students must be abused outside their districts, and the school board wants to minimize the total bus distance traveled by these students. The average distances from each district to the three schools and the total student population in each district are as follows:

Distance Miles
District Central Schools West schools South schools Student population
North 8 11 14 700
South 12 9 _ 300
East 9 16 10 900
West 8 _ 9 600
Central _ 8 12 500

The school board wants to determine the number of students to bus from each district each school to each school to minimize the total busing miles traveled.
