Question

Brian receives supplies for his pretzel business weekly. He usually works concession at three events a week and averages sales of 150 pretzels at each event. With his per-pretzel cost at $0.85, how much does he need to budget weekly for his supplies?

Answer 1

You would do

150 x 0.85=$127.50

This is one events total money. To get three events you would times it by 3

127.5 x 3 = $382.50

That’s how much all the pretzels cost together so just incase you would round it up to either

$400 or $390

Answer 2

Brian needs to budget $382,3 weekly for his supplies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem you must calculate first the total sales of pretzels per week, and the next step is to calculate the cost of those pretzels.

Each pretzel costs $0.85

The averages sales per week are 150 pretzels in each event

there a are 3 events

so:

• 150 x 3 = 450 pretzels

This result is the total sales of pretzels per week.

• 450 pretzels x $0,85= $382,3

Brian needs to budget $382,3 weekly for his supplies.
