A sales representative needs to design a display booth for trade
shows. Because trade show organizers typically charge for floor
space at their shows, the booth is to be 300 square feet. The booth
is to be 6 feet tall and three-sided, with the back of the booth
made of display board and the two sides of the booth made of
gathered fabric. The display board for the back of the booth costs
$20 per square foot. The fabric costs $2 per square foot and needs
to be twice the length of the side to allow for gathering.
