Arianna Kray is planning to build a strip mall. Currently, there are three types of retail spaces under consideration: small, medium, and large. The retail spaces at the small strip mall can be rented for $600 per month, medium retail spaces can be rented for $750 per month, and large retail spaces can be rented for $1000 per month. Each small retail space requires 600 square feet, each medium retail space requires 800 square feet, and each large retail space requires 1000 square feet. The current plot of land available to the developer is 100,000 square feet and can only fit a maximum of 50 spaces. The developer wants to ensure that the retail strip mall has at least 3 units of each type of retail space. Help Arianna find the optimal number of offices to construct to maximize rental revenues.
