Snape arranges special antidotes for Dumbledore using special ingredients. The antidotes are L, M, and N, and are used to help Dumbledore slow down the poisoning.
The table provides antidote ingredients and extent of side effects (numerical) of 1 gram of each antidote. Dumbledore's daily requirements are at least 400 units of Bezoar,
at least 200 units of asphodel, at least 300 units of wormwood, at most 100 units of venom, and at most 900 units of mandrake root.
How many grams of each antidote should be made to meet Dumbledore's requirements with minimum side effects?
Note: No additional ingredients are available. contents Snape is very poor, living at Spinner's End; and Dumbledore is not doing much better financially either.
