One type of problem might be figuring out how to launch a rocket. Your constraints
would be needing to know the minimum amount of fuel required along with the max
weight you could carry. You'd also need to factor in the distance your travelling into
the problem as well. You'd want to make it so you could make it to your destination
and have fuel left over just in case. You wouldn't want to burn through all your fuel in
case you needed it.

A second type of problem would be figuring out how many people you'd need to hire
for a project. There could be different pay grades to account for, the overall budget
and the minimum amount of people needed to ensure the project was able to be
completed. You'd want to try to stay under budget while also ensuring you have the
right type and amount of staff for the project. You could say you need some first level
employees for say customer service, but you might need less second-level employees
as the actual engineers on the project.

A final type of problem would be seeing how many components of computer hardware
you'd need to buy to be able to build an affordable computer to sell. You would want
to stay underneath $800 for a computer for example. Judging by the price of the parts
as well as the cost of labor, you'd need to figure out how many computers you'd have
to sell at what price to be able to make a profit and keep your store open.
