Question: My diet requires that all the food I eat come from one of the four "basic food groups" (chocolate cake, ice cream, soda, and cheesecake). At present, the following four foods are available for consumption: brownies, chocolate ice cream, cola, and pineapple cheesecake. Each brownie costs $0.5, each scoop of chocolate ice cream costs $0.2, each bottle of cola costs $0.3, and each piece of pineapple cheesecake costs $0.8. each day, I must ingest at least 500 calories, 6oz of chocolate, 10oz of sugar, and 8oz of fat. The nutritional content per unit of each food is shown in the following table.

  2. Use Solver to find the optimal solution.
  3. Interpret the shadow prices for all of the constraints.
