1. % of total budget on wasted food = \(\frac{total \ wasted \ food \ cost}{total \ budget} * 100\% = \frac{200000}{10000000} * 100\% = \frac{2}{100} * 100\% = 2\%\).
2. average meal cost = \(\frac{total \ wasted \ food \ cost}{# \ of \ wasted meals} = \frac{total \ wasted \ food \ cost}{total \ # \ of \ meals * \% \ of \ meals \ wasted} = \frac{200000}{400000 * 10\%} = \frac{200000}{40000} = 5\).
3. Our answer will be: Food waste as % of total budget - 2 and Average meal cost ($) - 5.
