You can consider your organization as a resource and hence the profit
comes. I buy these resources at the notional cost and want to minimize the
total cost of the resources. The constraint becomes 3Y1 + 2Y2 ≥ 500;
otherwise I wont produce. Finally it becomes equal.

Let q1, q2, q3 be the proportion of times B plays the three strategies. If A consistently
plays stone, B’s loss will be -2q2 + 3q3. If A consistently plays paper, B’s loss will be 3q1 –
2q2. If A consistently plays scissor, B’s loss will be -2q1 + 4q2. Since A and B are “rational”,
B will play in such a way to Minimize B’s maximum loss (because A would like to give
maximum loss to B). B plays what is called “minimax’ strategy.
Minimize v
v ≥ -2q2 + 3q3;
v ≥ 3q1 – 2q3;
v ≥ -2q1 + 4q2;
q1 + q2 + q3 = 1.
q1, q2, q3 ≥ 0. v unrestricted in sign
