Question

If you were to make a restaurant, and need 29 items, how much of each would you have?

Answer 1

3 beverages, 5 appetizers, 8 entrees, and 4 desserts.

Explanation:

I think you meant 20 items, so let's do that. To find 15% of 20, we multiply 20 by .15. This gets us 3. We repeat this with all the other numbers, using different decimals, of course. We get 3 beverages, 5 appetizers, 8 entrees, and 4 desserts. 3 + 5 + 8 + 4 is 20, so everything checks out.
