Let’s create a linear programming model and solve it on excel solver.
Here our decisions are the amount of bread, milk, cheese, potato, fish and yogurt to consume. We can denote them as X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X6.
The objective is to minimize the cost. Thus our objective function is
Minimize 8X1 + 23X2 + 25X3 + 15X4 + 81X5 + 29X6
The constraints are
176X1 + 178X2 + 182X3 + 114X4 + 205X5 + 342X6 >= 2213 (Calorie constraint)
6X1 + 9X2 + 7X3 + 1.3X4 + 8X5 + 11.2X6 <= 75 (protein constraint)
15X1 + 16.7X2 + 0.4X3 + 30.6X4 + 0X5 + 25X6 >= 16 (carbohydrate constraint)
3X1 + 7X2 + 15X3 + 0.1X4 + 8X5 + 3X6 >= 13 (fat constraint)
X5 >= 1.1 (fish constraint)
X2 >= 0.7 (milk constraint)
X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6 >= (non-negative constraint)
The solver model is shown below
The formulas are shown below
The solver parameter is shown below
The result is shown below. The total cost is 292 cents
Each items are
Bread = 6
Milk = 1
Cheese = 0
Potato = 2
Fish = 2
Yogurt = 1
