SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM AND SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONS. (55 pts.)

1. A dietician has learned from a nutrition book that his family needs at
least 300 grams of protein and at least 60 milligrams of iron per day
for sound health. These nutrients can be obtained from meat and
vegetable products. Each pound of meat costs an average of P60 and
contains an average of 150 grams of protein and 15 milligrams of iron
while each pound of vegetables costs P15 and has 10 grams of protein
and 5 milligrams of iron. He wants to determine the quantities of food
that meet the nutritional requirements at least cost.
