You need to add the capacity for 10,000 more calls and 100,000 more text messages per day. You can buy Megacells that can handle 800 calls and 2000 texts a day for $1000 each, and super cells that can handle 200 calls and 30,000 texts for $ 650 each, and basic cells that can handle 100 calls and 100 texts for $125. how many of each should you buy to minimize the cost of this upgrade?
