The town hall of a city wants to open some recreational centers. It has been analyzed 3 options. The opening cost and the capacity of each center are listed below.

Option	Capacity	Cost
A	150	15000
B	250	50000
C	120	36000

The selected recreational centers must be hosting the students from 5 schools. In the table below is summarized the number of students at each school.

School	1	2	3	4	5
Students	50	80	40	60	40

Each school must be assigned to only one recreational center. And the capacity of each center must be respected. What are the recreational centers that must be open in order to minimize the opening cost?

Illustrate the greedy procedure with the following data:

Option	Capacity	Cost	Option	Capacity	Cost
A	150	15000	D	80	8000
B	250	50000	E	180	24000
C	120	36000	F	200	30000

School	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Students	50	80	40	60	40	70	50	60	60	50
