***SOLVE PART B PLEASE***
Suppose that there are three types of food available for Joe: corn, bread and 2% milk.
Considering Joe's nutritional needs, the number of calories he needs to take has to be between
2000 and 2250 cal. and the amount of Vitamin A he needs to take has to be between 5000 and
50000g. The table below lists, the cost per serving, the amount of Vitamin A per serving, and
the number of calories per serving for each type of food.
Assuming that maximum serving size for each type of food is 10 :
a)[5pt] Formulate a linear programming problem mathematically to find the optimal diet
as a mix of three types of food that minimizes the cost. Clearly define the decision
variables, objective and constraints.
b)[5pt] Solve the linear programming problem defined in part a) using Excel's solver or
Python's linprog function. Report the values of the decision variables, the objective
function at the optimal solution. (You will get fractional numbers at the optimal solution.
Do not round them)
