Answer 1

A restaurant chef was ordering supplies. He ordered 6 pounds of beef at 10.49 per pound, 6

pounds of potatoes at $10.5 a pound and 9 pounds of carrots at $6.75 per pound. He

estimates that this will make 21 meals. If he charges 47.7 per meal how much profit will he

make?

(21×47.7)-((6×10.49)+(6×10.5)+(9×6.75))

ans: 815.01

Answer 2

Answer: Profit= $1,225.09

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have calculate the total cost and the earnings:

Cost of the supplies:

Beef: 4 pounds at $9.25 per pound: 4 x 9.25= $37

Potatoes: 6 pounds at $6.96 per pound: 6 x 6.96= $41.76

Carrots: 5 pounds at $9.81 per pound: 5 x 9.81= $49.5

Total cost = 37 + 41.76 + 49.5 = $127.87

Price of the meals: $48.32 each (28 made)

Earnings: 48.37 x 28 = $1,352.96

Finally we subtract the cost to the earnings:

Profit = earnings- total cost = 1,352.96 -127.87 = 1,225.09
