Submitting an official solution before solving the problem yourself is a bannable offence.
Let us first solve the following subproblem: how many dollars must we pay to buy units of some ingredient?
This subproblem is easily solved by trying all possible numbers of large packages and calculating the number of small packages needed to achieve units. The solution is the smallest cost over all choices for the number of large packages.
Now we can check if we have enough ingredients for servings of the meal. For each ingredient, we know how many units we need for servings and we can calculate the cost for that many servings using the above algorithm. If we have enough money to buy all needed ingredients, then we can prepare servings.
A solution that increments while we can prepare servings will score of points. To obtain the full score, use binary search to find the largest such that we can prepare servings.
