"Suppose that 400 cubic yards of gravel must be ferried across a river. Suppose that the gravel is to be shipped in an open box of length $t_1$, width $t_2$, and height $t_3$. The sides and bottom of the box cost \\$10 per square yard and the ends of the box cost \\$20 per squared yard. The box will have no salvage value and each round trip of the box on the ferry will cost 10 cents. What is the minimum cost of transporting the 400 cubic yards of gravel?"
