The best solutions are summarized in a table as shown below.

You can examine a particular solution in more detail by selecting the solution in the grid
and clicking the View button. You will see the details of each solution you choose,
including the values for any constraints you defined.

Note that the first solution examined by OptQuest consists of the initial values of the
controls in your model; different initial values may result in different sequences of
solutions as well as the best-identified solution. Thus, your results may not be exactly the
same as those shown above. For this optimization, we see that the best staffing is two
workers in the main refreshment stand, three workers in the satellite refreshment stand,
and two ticket takers with an objective value of $1150.83 of net profit.
