for 3 notebooks and 3 pencils:  3×60+3×36=288    money left:  360−288=72    there are 2 ways to spend this money:  way 1: to buy 2 additional pencils for 2×36=#72  way 2: to buy 1 additional notebook for #60.    way 2 gives ihm a change of #12.

let the notebooks he gets=x  and the pencils he gets=y  the linear programs are :  x≥3 , y≥3  60x+36y≤360 ⇒ 5x+3y≤30  if x=3 ⇒ 15+3y≤30                       he gets y=5 (no change)  if x=4 ⇒ 20+3y≤30                   he only gets y=3                   the change=#360−(4×#60+3×#36)=#12  if x=5 ⇒ 25+3y≤30 ⇒ y<3
