Problem 3-27 (Algorithmic) Cranberries can be harvested using either a "wet" method or "dry" method. Dry-harvested cranberries can be sold at a premium, while wet harvested cranberries are used mainly for cranberry juice and bring in less revenue. Fresh Made Cranberry Cooperative must decide how much of its cranberry crop should be harvested wet and how much should be dry harvested. Fresh Made has 5500 barrels of cranberries that can be harvested using either the wet or dry method. Dry...
