The student population of the Corona High School is 750. The school has 25 standard classrooms. Assuming a 5-day school week with solid waste pickups on Monday and Thursday, determine the lowest cost combination of waste containers required.

Assume waste is generated at a rate of 0.10 kg/cap·day plus 4 kg per room per day and that the density of uncompacted solid waste is 120.0 kg/m3. Standard container sizes available and weekly rental fees are:

1.5 m3 @ $45 / wk

2.2 m3 @ $55 / wk

3.0 m3 @ $75 / wk

4.8 m3 @ $120 / wk

Select one:

a. One 4.8 cubic meter container

b. Two 2.2 cubic meter containers

c. One 1.5 cubic meter container plus one 3.0 cubic meter container

d. Two 1.5 cubic meter containers

e. One 1.5 cubic meter container plus one 2.2 cubic meter container
