Answer:

52 ounces

Explanation:

The computation of the number of ounces buy is shown below:

Let us assume the number of guest be x

Now it is given that

There is 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce and the total of them is 130

Now the equation is

6x + 4x = 130

10x = 130

x = 13

Now the number of ounces of sauce buy would be

= 13 (4)

= 52 ounces of sauce would be bought
