The quantity is given as:
Pista = 200g
Popcorn = 150g
Almonds = 100g
Maximum %ages of fiber
Pista = 27%
Popcorn = 20%
Almonds = 10%
Total fiber requirement = 90g
We need to find the lowest possible fiber percentage for both pista and almonds, such that our total requirement of 90g is met
For Pista:
To minimize the % contribution of fiber from pista, we have to maximize the % contribution from the other 2
Max fiber (in g) from popcorn and almonds = (max % of fiber in popcorn)*(quantity of popcorn) + (max % of fiber in almonds)*(quantity of almonds)
We get, max fiber (in g ) from popcorn and almonds = (20% of 10)+(10% of 100) = 40g
Now are requirement is for 90g, thus the 50g deficit is going to come from Pista:
Max % fiber from pista = (Deficit to be filled by pista)/(quantity of pista) = 50/200 = 25%
Similarly for almonds, we maximize the fiber from popcorn and pista first,
Max fiber (in g) from popcorn and pista = (max % of fiber in popcorn)*(quantity of popcorn) + (max % of fiber in pista)*(quantity of pisa)
We get, max fiber (in g) from popcorn and pista = (20% of 150)+(27% of 200) = 84g
Our requirement is 90g, so the deficit that's going to come from almonds is 6g
Max % fiber from almonds = (Deficit to be filled by almonds)/(quantity of almonds) = 6/100 = 6%
So the answer is,
Pistachio = 25%Almonds = 6%
