Marginal Analysis:. Doug Ross is a regional sales representative for Specialty Books, Inc., and sells textbooks to universities in Midwestern states. Ross' goal is to maximize total monthly commission income, which is figured at 10% of gross sales. In reviewing monthly experience over the past year, Ross found the following relations between days spent in each state and monthly sales generated:

Days	Kansas Gross Sales	Oklahoma Gross Sales	Nebraska Gross Sales	Kansas Marginal Sales	Oklahoma Marginal Sales	Nebraska Marginal Sales
0	2000	500	1000	0	0	0
1	4000	1500	3500	2000	1000	2500
2	5600	2300	5500	1600	800	2000
3	6800	2900	7000	1200	600	1500
4	7900	3300	8100	1100	400	1100
5	8500	3500	8900	600	200	800
6	8800	3600	9400	300	100	500
7	8900	3600	9600	100	0	200

If administrative duties limit Ross to only 15 selling days per month, how should he spend them?

I know that the answer will be somehow related to the amount of marginal sales per day, but dont know how exactly to determine the allocation.
