Question: CASE STUDY 1 The % Daily Value ( or % DV ) shows how much of a nutrient is in one serving of a packaged

CASE STUDY 1
The % Daily Value (or %DV) shows how much of a nutrient is in one serving of a packaged food. The %DVs are based on the values for key nutrients, which are the amounts (in grams) of nutrients recommended per day for individuals 4 years of age and older. To calculate the %DV of a packaged food, you have to divide the nutrient amount per serving by the daily recommended value and multiply by 100. To know whether you are getting enough amount of a certain nutrient from a packaged food, the following level of categorization applies:
5% or less of a nutrient per serving is low
More than 5% but less than 20% of a nutrient per serving is moderate
20% or more of a nutrient per serving is high
Write a complete C program that reads a list of data (cereal type, carbohydrate in ounce, protein in ounce, fat in ounce) from an input file. Prepare the input file as shown in Figure 1.1 with data for 10 types of cereal. For the first four types of cereal (Cereal A, B, C, D), use the values as shown in the figure below. Complete the file for the remaining six types of cereal with your own values.
\table[[Cereal,A,2.64,0.26,0.36],[Cereal,B,0.34,0.53,0.07],[Cereal,C,2.58,0.28,0.63],[Cereal,D,1.95,0.44,0.15]]
Figure 1.1: Input File
By reading the input file that you have prepared, your program should be able to:
(a) Calculate the conversion of the nutrient values in ounce (oz) into gram (g), with two decimal places. Note: 1oz=28.35g
(b) Calculate the %DV of each nutrient (g) for each cereal. Note: The daily recommended value for all three nutrients are as follows:
Carbohydrate -300g, Protein -50g, Fat -65g
(c) Calculate the average %DV of Carbohydrate, Protein and Fat for all cereals.
(d) Determine and display the category of each nutrient, either low, moderate or high.
(e) Output on screen: Ask the user to enter choice of nutrient (carbohydrate, protein, fat) and level (low, moderate, high) and display the food listed under that category (e.g. Figure 1.2)
