Question

Jonny wants to know how much coffee he will need for 800 people at a meeting Jonny assumes 68% of the people will drink coffee work out the amount of coffee Jonny needs give your answer correct to the nearest gram

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of coffee needed for 800 people, with 68% expected to drink coffee, multiply 800 by 0.68 to estimate the number of coffee drinkers, then multiply this number by the average serving size in grams. Jonny needs approximately 123,488 grams of coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the amount of coffee Jonny needs for 800 people, assuming that 68% of them will drink coffee. To find out how many people will drink coffee, we multiply the total number of people by the percentage of coffee drinkers:

800 people × 68% = 800 × 0.68 = 544 people

Next, we need to determine the average amount of coffee one person will consume. Typical serving sizes can vary, but for the purpose of this calculation, we will assume a standard 8 oz cup (which is approximately 227 grams) is served per person:

544 people × 227 grams/person = 123488 grams

As the question asks for the weight correct to the nearest gram, Jonny would need 123,488 grams of coffee for the 800 people.

Answer 2

To find out how much coffee Jonny needs for 800 people with 68% expected to drink coffee, multiply the number of coffee drinkers (544) by a standard serving size in grams. Jonny will need approximately 123,488 grams of coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of coffee Jonny needs for 800 people, assuming that 68% will drink coffee, first find the number of coffee drinkers:

800 people x 68% = 544 people.

Since no specific amount per person is given, you would typically use a standard serving size to estimate. A standard cup of coffee is about 8 ounces (oz.). If we assume that each person will have one 8 oz. cup, then Jonny needs 544 cups of coffee. However, we need to convert this to grams.

8 oz. is approximately equivalent to 227 grams (since 1 oz. is approximately 28.35 grams).

So for one person:
227 grams x 1 cup/person = 227 grams/person.

For 544 people:
227 grams/person x 544 people = 123,488 grams of coffee.

Rounded to the nearest gram, Jonny would need 123,488 grams of coffee for the 800 people attending the meeting.
