As the owner of a fastfoad restaurant with declining sales, your customers are looking for
something new and exciting on the menu. Your market research indicates that they want a burger
that is loaded with everything as long as it meets certain health requirements. Money is no object
to them.
The ingredient list in the table shows what is available to include on the burger. You must include
at least one of each item and no more than five of each item. You must use whole items (for
example, no half servings of cheese). The final burger must contain less than 3000 mg of sodium,
less than 150 grams of fat, and less than 3000 calories.
To maintain certain taste quality standards you'll need to keep the servings of ketchup and lettuce
the same. Also, you'll need to keep the servings of pickles and tomatoes the same.
