Calculating the number of kg of each ingredient required per batch is nothing more than multiplying the number of kg per bag times 250. But the information given is woefully inadequate for answering the second part of the question. All you know is the cost of the ingredients and nothing about the fixed costs of running the factory, nor the company's G&A, nor the desired profit margin. If they sell just for the cost of the ingredients, they would go broke in a month.
