Please help!! Best answer gets a medal. A school graduation class wants to hire buses and vans for a trip to Jasper National Park. Each bus holds 40 students and 3 teachers and cost $1200 to rent. Each van holds 8 students and 1 teacher and costs $100 to rent. The school has at least 400 students wanting to go, but at most 36 teachers. What is the mininum transportation cost? Make vans equal "x"

Question

I guess it's Min Z= 100x+ 1200y
st
8x+40y>= 400
3y+ x<= 36

 and usual non negative constraints 

Am I right?
