This was a good opportunity to learn how to configure inputs for the Optimization tool. It was tricky to get the inputs set up just right!

feel the solution is not accurate as it only works for the data set provided. It does not consider the dollar/kg. In some situation, it is better to pick up the one with less dollar but much less kg box.

So I didn't think this one was hard, I just made it really tedious. And it only works for 5 boxes. But it's done.
