Cost of ingredients:
Potato 30 1000
Flour 40 1000
Quantities: [75, 100, 10] (Grams of Whole Wheat Flour, Potatoes, and Oil respectively)
Prices: [40, 30, 100] (Prices per kilogram for Whole Wheat Flour, Potatoes, and per liter for Cooking
Oil respectively)
Using the ordered vector form, the formula can be applied by multiplying each quantity by its
respective price and summing up these products to find the total cost of the ingredients for a single
serving of aloo paratha.
Calculations for the nutritional content in the recipe (using the given quantities and the approximate
nutritional values per 100 grams):
1. Potato:
• Carbohydrates: 100/100 x 17 = 17 grams
• Protein: 100/100 x 2 = 2 grams
• Fat: 100/100 x 0.1 = 0.1 grams
2. Oil:
• For 10 grams of oil, as it’s pure fat, the content is 10 grams of fat.
3. Flour:
• Carbohydrates: 75/100 x 73 = 54.75 grams
• Protein: 75/100 x 10 = 7.5 grams
• Fat: 75/100 x 1 = 75 grams
4.B. To find the total nutritional content in the recipe, add up the respective carbohydrate, protein,
and fat content values obtained from each ingredient:
5. To calculate the nutritional intake of carbs, proteins, and fats, let's break down the ingredients'
nutritional content:
Meal A:
- Carbs: Potatoes (160g) contain about 36g of carbs, Flour (50g) contains around 38g of carbs.
Total: 36g + 38g = 74g of carbs.
- Proteins: Potatoes have about 4g, Flour approximately 6g. Total: 4g + 6g = 10g of proteins.
- Fats: Oil contributes 10g of fat.
Meal B:
- Carbs: Potatoes (80g) contain about 18g of carbs, Flour (20g) contains approximately 15g of carbs.
Total: 18g + 15g = 33g of carbs per serving. For 3 servings: 33g * 3 = 99g of carbs.
- Proteins: Potatoes have about 2g, Flour approximately 3g. Total: 2g + 3g = 5g of proteins per
serving. For 3 servings: 5g * 3 = 15g of proteins.
- Fats: Oil contributes 10g of fat.
Meal C:
- Carbs: Potatoes (35g) contain about 8g of carbs, Flour (120g) contains around 90g of carbs. Total:
8g + 90g = 98g of carbs per serving. For 2 servings: 98g * 2 = 196g of carbs.
- Proteins: Potatoes have about 1g, Flour approximately 16g. Total: 1g + 16g = 17g of proteins per
serving. For 2 servings: 17g * 2 = 34g of proteins.
- Fats: Oil contributes 5g of fat per serving. For 2 servings: 5g * 2 = 10g of fat.
So, the daily nutritional intake from the three meals comprises approximately 369g of carbs, 59g of
proteins, and 30g of fats.
Let's break down the nutritional content per serving of each ingredient:
For 120g of carbs, considering the lowest carb content per serving, we can use 1 serving of Meal B
(33g) and 1 serving of Meal C (98g) which totals 131g of carbs (more than 120g).
For 30g of proteins, the closest combination would be 1 serving of Meal A (10g) and 1 serving of
Meal C (17g), which sums up to 27g of proteins (close to 30g).
For 12g of fats, using 1 serving of Meal A (10g) and 1 serving of Meal C (5g) gives a total of 15g of
fats (more than 12g).
Therefore, it's a bit challenging to exactly match 120g of carbs, 30g of proteins, and 12g of fats using
these ingredients without exceeding the specified amounts.
b. 30g of Carbs, 120g of Protein, and 2g of Fat:
For 30g of carbs, the closest combination would be 1 serving of Meal A (74g) and 1 serving of Meal
B (33g), which totals 107g of carbs (more than 30g).
For 120g of proteins, the combination could be 4 servings of Meal C (17g * 4 = 68g) and 6 servings
of Meal A (10g * 6 = 60g), which totals 128g of proteins (more than 120g).
For 2g of fats, using 1 serving of Meal B (10g) and 1 serving of Meal C (5g) gives a total of 15g of
fats (more than 2g).
It seems difficult to precisely meet these nutritional requirements using only the specified
combinations of the given ingredients without surpassing the limits. Adjustments or additional
ingredients might be necessary to meet these specific targets precisely.
