3. A manufacturing company receives orders for engines from two assembly plants. Plant I needs at least 45 engines, and plant II needs at least 32 engines. The company can send at most 140 engines to these assembly plants. It costs $30 per engine to ship to plant I and $50 per engine to ship to plant II.

A population gathers plants and animals for survival. They need at least 260 units of energy, 300 units of protein, and 8 hides. One unit of plants provides 30 units of energy, 10 units of protein, and 0 hides. One animal provides 20 units of energy, 25 units of protein, and 1 hide. Only 13 units of plants and 16 animals are available. It costs 20 hours of labor to gather one unit of a plant and 10 hours for an animal. Find how many units of plants and animals should be gathered to meet the requirements with a minimum number of hours of labor.
