Prompt:
You are an operations research expert analyzing the results from three different optimization solvers. Based on the original mathematical formulation and solver execution results, provide a comprehensive analysis and final recommendation.

ORIGINAL MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION:
## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
Let \( x_{i,j} \) be the promotional budget allocated to contestant \( i \) in state \( j \), where:
- \( i \in \{1, 2, 3\} \) (contestants)
- \( j \in \{\text{CA}, \text{TX}, \text{NY}\} \) (states)

#### Objective Function
Maximize the total votes received across all contestants and states:
\[
\text{Maximize } Z = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} 0.6 \cdot x_{i,j}
\]
- **Coefficient Source**: The coefficient \( 0.6 \) is derived from the fixed conversion rate of promotional budget to votes, as specified in the business problem description.

#### Constraints
1. **Total Budget Constraint**:
\[
\sum_{i} \sum_{j} x_{i,j} \leq 150,000
\]
- **Coefficient Source**: The right-hand-side value \( 150,000 \) is the total available budget, as specified in the business problem description.

2. **State-Level Budget Constraint**:
\[
x_{i,j} \leq 25,000 \quad \forall i, j
\]
- **Coefficient Source**: The right-hand-side value \( 25,000 \) is the maximum allowed budget per state, as specified in the business problem description.

#### Data Source Verification
- **Objective Function Coefficient (0.6)**: Derived from the fixed conversion rate of promotional budget to votes, as specified in the business problem description.
- **Total Budget Constraint (150,000)**: Derived from the total available budget, as specified in the business problem description.
- **State-Level Budget Constraint (25,000)**: Derived from the maximum allowed budget per state, as specified in the business problem description.

This formulation provides a complete, immediately solvable LINEAR mathematical model with all numerical coefficients explicitly mapped to their respective data sources.
