A car rental agency in a major city has a total of 4500 cars that it rents from three locations: Metropolis Airport, downtown, and the smaller City Airport. Some weekly rental and return patterns are shown in the table (note that Airport means Metropolis Airport).
Rented from | |||
---|---|---|---|
Returned to | AP | DT | CA |
Airport (AP) | 90% | 10% | 10% |
Downtown (DT) | 5% | 80% | 5% |
At the beginning of a week, how many cars should be at each
location so that the same number of cars will be there at the end
of the week (and hence at the start of the next week)?
