Question

Frank has devised a formula for his catering business that calculates the number of meatballs he needs to prepare. The formula is m=4a +2c, where c= number of children; m= number of meatballs; a= number of adults. Q: How many meat balls are required for a party of 20 adults and 5 children?

Answer 1

90 meatballs.

Explanation:

To figure this out, we need to input the values for a and c into the equation.

m=4(20)+2(5). Multiply and you get 80+10. Add them up and you get 90 meatballs.

Answer 2

4*20 is 80. 2*5 is 10.

There would need to be 90 meatballs.
