If A and C are x, then B = x/5. So
.02x + .10(x/5) + .16x = 1.00
Each ounce of a substance A supplies 2% of the nutrition a patient needs. Substance B supplies 10% of the required nutrition per ounce, and substance C supplies 16% of the required nutrition per ounce. If digestive restrictions require that substances A and C be given in equal amounts, and the amount of substance B be one-fifth of either of these other amounts, find the number of ounces of each substance that should be in the meal to provide 100% of the required nutrition.
