My diet requires that all the food I eat come from one of the four basic food
Question:
My diet requires that all the food I eat come from one of the four “basic food groups”
(chocolate cake, ice cream, soda, and cheesecake). At present, the following four foods are available for consumption: brownies, chocolate ice cream, cola, and pineapple cheesecake.
Each brownie costs 50¢, each scoop of chocolate ice cream costs 20¢, each bottle of cola costs 30¢, and each piece of pineapple cheesecake costs 80¢. Each day, I must ingest at least 500 calories, 6 oz of chocolate, 10 oz of sugar, and 8 oz of fat. The nutritional content per unit of each food is shown in Table 2. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to satisfy my daily nutritional requirements at minimum cost.
