Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One serving of cereal and one serving of juice would provide a total of 120 calories and 120% of the RDA of Vitamin C for infants. This combination also has the lowest cost, as it only costs 37 cents per serving. The dessert is not necessary as it adds additional cost and calories without contributing significantly to the vitamin intake.
