Question

The formula is m=4a+2c , where c = number of children; m = number of meatballs; a = number of adults.

How many meatballs are required for a party of 10 adults and 5 children?

Answer 1

M=4a+2c
M=4(10)+2(5)
M=40+10
M=50

50 meatballs are required for a party of 10 adults and 5 children.

Answer 2

50 meatballs are required

Explanation:

Given formula for finding the number of meatballs required,

m = 4a + 2c

Where,

c = number of children

a = number of adults

We have, a = 10, c = 5

By substituting the values,

m = 4(10) + 2(5) = 40 + 10 = 50

Hence, 50 meatballs are required for a party of 10 adults and 5 children.
