They can hire Truck and Mini vans. Each truck can carry 10 bags of Type A bags, 20 bags of Type B bags, and 10 bags of Type C bags. On the other hand, each minivan can carry  20 bags of Type A bags, 5  bags of Type B bags, and 10 bags of Type C bags. Each truck's rental cost is  $1000, and each minivan's rental cost is  $850.  There are only 5 truck drivers available to drive the trucks(Hint: It means the number of trucks should be less than or equal to 5). If  Model Inc wants to minimize the transportation cost, how many trucks and vans should they rent?
