Question

Susan is going to have a party.

There will be 50 people at the party.
Susan wants to buy enough sausages so that each person at the party have 2 sausages.
There are 8 sausages in each pack
Susan buys 12 packs of sausages
Has she bought enough sausages?

Answer 1

`\bold{ANSWER:}`


To determine if Susan has bought enough sausages, we need to calculate the total number of sausages she has bought and compare it to the number of sausages needed for all the guests.

Susan bought 12 packs of sausages, and each pack contains 8 sausages. So, the total number of sausages she bought is

12 packs * 8 sausages/pack = 96 sausages.

Since there will be 50 people at the party, and Susan wants each person to have 2 sausages,

the total number of sausages needed is 50 people * 2 sausages/person = 100 sausages.

Since Susan has bought 96 sausages, which is less than the required 100 sausages, she has not bought enough sausages for everyone at the party to have 2 sausages each.
