Why is this question for linear programming model?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a linear programming model concerning the hiring of lawyers. The primary variable identified is the number of lawyers to hire, which must be between three and five. Participants emphasize the need for clarity in the problem statement to address potential complexities in the hiring process. The conclusion suggests that further clarification from the professor may be necessary to fully understand the model's requirements.

I see only one variable there. Could you help me with it?

The answer involves several variables. How shall I solve it?

Maybe I'm missing the point, too, but the only variable I see is how many lawyers to hire. From the data of the problem, the firm will need at least three lawyers, but not more than five. From the problem statement, I infer that they will hire all of the lawyers at one time, so there don't seem to be any complications like hiring a certain number of lawyers in a given month. Can you ask your professor to clarify this problem?
