    9 in Aynor and 31 in Spartanburg

    Explanation:

    we need to build the following:

    A B C

    units COST

    Aynor 9 = 93 + 80*B2 + POWER (B2; 2) * 7

    Spartanburg 31 = 147 + 20*B2 + POWER (B2; 2) * 3

    =b2 + b3 = c2 + c3

    We stablish that we want to minimize c3

    changing cell b2 and b3

    with the restriction that must be integer solution and b4 should equal 40
