3. Given a diet problem with three possible foods: XI - apples, X2 = bread, and X3 = corn. These foods are needed to provide calories, vitamin X, and mineral Y. The information regarding the problem is summarized in the table below: (per person, per day) Calentes Cost per Pound ( Availability fer ID) Apples 25 Unlimited 320 20 40 Bread 50 1 lb/person/day 1,200 150 20 Corn 15 2. 1b/personvday 100 0 30 Minimum daily requirements: 1,100 150 60 It is also required to have at least 0.5 lb apples in the daily diet. The problem is to minimize the cost of the daily diet such that the minimum daily nutrient requirements are met.
