The value of giving to an education institution is rated at 10 credits for every $1000 donation, while the value of the $1000 donation is to the music lovers is rated at 8 credits, and each $1000 donation to the wildlife conservation is rated at 6 credits. Find a linear programming model to help this philanthropist maximize the number of tax credits that can be achieved by contributing among these three groups.
