Recall that after identifying the unknowns in the problem, we set up equations describing the relationships among them. Let x be the number of servings of Designer Whey and let y be the number of servings of Muscle Milk to be used in making a mix that supplies 580 grams of protein and 164 grams of carbohydrates. Use the original table to summarize the information needed here. Protein Carbohydrates (g) Sodium Cost (g) (mg) ($) Designer Whey (Next) 18 2 80 0.50 Muscle Milk 32 16 240 1.60 (Cytosport) Pure Whey Protein Stack (Champion) 24 3 100 0.60 x, number of servings of Designer Whey y, number of servings of Desired amount for Muscle Milk 7-day supply grams per Protein 32 grams per serving grams serving grams per Carbohydrates 2 grams per serving grams serving Cost $0.50 per serving $1.60 per serving
Consider the 2 given tables.
Let x be the number of servings of Designer Whey and y be the number of servings of Muscle Milk.
From the first table, it can be noted that per serving of Designer Whey contains 18 grams of protein and per serving of Muscle milk contains 16 grams of carbohydrates.
Hence, the first unknown in the first row of the second table is 18 and the first unknown in the second row of the second table is 16.
Given that the required mix should supply 580 grams of protein and 164 grams of carbohydrates.
That is, desired amount of protein for 7-day supply is 580 grams and desired amount of carbohydrates for 7-day supply is 164.
Hence, the second unknown in the first row of the second table is 580 and the second unknown in the second row of the second table is 164.
