The ingredients for the trail mix will include Raisins, Grain, Chocolate Chips, and Peanuts, costing $1.20, $1.20, $1.70, and $1.60 per pound, respectively. The vitamins, minerals, and protein content of each of the ingredients (in grams per pound) is summarised in the following table, along with the calories per pound of ingredient: Raisins Vitamins 15 6 Minerals 10 9 10 Protein 5 Calories 400 1 Microsoft Excel 16.0 Sensitivity Report 2 Worksheet: [Question 1 working.xlsx]Normal 3 4 Variable Cells Cell $B$13 Ingredients (pounds) Raisins $C$13 Ingredients (pounds) Grain $D$13 Ingredients (pounds) Chocolate $E$13 Ingredients (pounds) Peanuts Grain Name 20 5 Name 5 150 11 12 Constraints 13 14 Cell 15 $B$19 at least 35 grams of vitamins LHS 16 $B$20 at least 15 grams of minerals LHS 17 $B$21 at least 15 grams of protein LHS 18 $B$22 at least 625 calories LHS 19 $B$23 two-pound package LHS 20 $B$24 at least 5% of the weight of the package: raisins LHS 21 $B$25 at least 5% of the weight of the package: grain LHS D Jerome Yoong would like to identify the least costly mix of these ingredients. The trail mix should have at least 35 grams of vitamins, 15 grams of minerals, 15 grams of protein, and 625 calories per two-pound package. Additionally, for each ingredient, there must be at least 5% and no more than 50% of the weight of the package.
