I hope this is a start.

There are 34 vehicles altogether.

Let x = # vans, y = # large cars, z = # small cars.

....number of each used.

...total number of vehicles used.

........total number of people transported.

Minimize total cost:

The new restrictions can be found by subbing into the 2 inequalities.

Sorry friend
Your answer is not correct
Correct answer is :
Z=600x1 + 400x2 + 300X3 + 500y1 + 300y2 + 200y3
Subject to constraints,
x1 + y1 ≤ 4
x2 + y2 ≤ 10
x3 + y3 ≤ 20
20x1 + 8x2 + 5x3 = 180
20y1 + 8y2 + 5y3 = 40
x1, x2, x3, y1, y2, y3 ≥ 0
