Math Problem Statement
Solution
PIL import Image
Open the uploaded image to inspect its content
image_path = '/mnt/data/1733694204960mx5lqyzb.jpg' img = Image.open(image_path) img.show()It looks like you've uploaded an image, but I need to analyze its content first. Let me extract any relevant information from the image. Let's use an OCR tool to extract text from the image import pytesseract
Extract text from the image using pytesseract
extracted_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img) extracted_textThe problem asks to determine how many boxes of Cereal A and Cereal B John should buy to minimize costs while meeting certain nutritional requirements.
John's goal is:
- At least 500 units of vitamins
- At least 600 units of minerals
- At least 1200 calories
Here are the details:
- Cereal A costs $0.50 and contains 10 units of vitamins, 5 units of minerals, and 15 calories.
- Cereal B costs $0.40 and contains 5 units of vitamins, 10 units of minerals, and 15 calories.
You are asked to choose the right combination of boxes that will meet the requirements and minimize cost.
