## Problem Description and Formulation

The problem is a classic example of a linear programming problem. Mark needs to meet his daily requirements of four vitamins (A, C, D, and E) by taking two types of pills: chewable and regular. Each type of pill contains different amounts of the vitamins, and they have different costs. The goal is to minimize the total cost while meeting the daily vitamin requirements.

Let's define the decision variables:
- \(x\): the number of chewable pills Mark should buy.
- \(y\): the number of regular pills Mark should buy.

The objective function to minimize is the total cost:
\[ \text{Minimize:} \quad 0.50x + 0.40y \]

Subject to the constraints for each vitamin:
- Vitamin A: \(2x + 3y \geq 30\)
- Vitamin C: \(3x + 2y \geq 20\)
- Vitamin D: \(3x + 4y \geq 40\)
- Vitamin E: \(2x + 4y \geq 30\)

And the non-negativity constraints:
- \(x \geq 0\)
- \(y \geq 0\)

Since \(x\) and \(y\) represent the number of pills, they should also be integers. However, to solve this using Gurobi's linear programming capabilities, we'll first solve it as an LP and then round the solution if necessary.

## Gurobi Code

```python
import gurobi

def solve_supplement_problem():
    # Create a new model
    model = gurobi.Model()

    # Define the variables
    x = model.addVar(name="chewable_pills", lb=0, vtype=gurobi.GRB.CONTINUOUS)
    y = model.addVar(name="regular_pills", lb=0, vtype=gurobi.GRB.CONTINUOUS)

    # Define the objective function
    model.setObjective(0.50 * x + 0.40 * y, gurobi.GRB.MINIMIZE)

    # Add constraints
    model.addConstr(2 * x + 3 * y >= 30, name="vitamin_A")
    model.addConstr(3 * x + 2 * y >= 20, name="vitamin_C")
    model.addConstr(3 * x + 4 * y >= 40, name="vitamin_D")
    model.addConstr(2 * x + 4 * y >= 30, name="vitamin_E")

    # Solve the model
    model.optimize()

    if model.status == gurobi.GRB.OPTIMAL:
        print(f"Optimal solution: x = {x.varValue:.2f}, y = {y.varValue:.2f}")
        print(f"Minimum cost: ${model.objVal:.2f}")
    elif model.status == gurobi.GRB.INFEASIBLE:
        print("The model is infeasible.")
    else:
        print("The model has an unknown status.")

solve_supplement_problem()
```

This code sets up the optimization problem using Gurobi, solves it, and prints out the optimal values for \(x\) and \(y\) (the number of chewable and regular pills, respectively) and the minimum cost. Note that the solution might not be integer, so in a real-world application, you might need to round the solution and check its feasibility. For simplicity, this example does not include integer constraints; adding them would require changing the `vtype` of \(x\) and \(y\) to `gurobi.GRB.INTEGER` and potentially using a different solver or approach.
