Group members should agree on four cities to be visited. Assume you are located at a particular city, A. Let B, C, D, and E represent each of the four cities you have agreed upon. Consult the Internet and use one-way airfares between cities to create a weighted graph. Use the Brute Force Method to find the optimal solution to visiting each of your chosen cities and return home. Use the Nearest Neighbor Method to approximate the optimal solution. How much money does the group save using the optimal solution instead of the approximation?
