Final answer:
The pizzeria can make 16 pizzas with 4 pounds of tomato sauce since each pizza requires 0.25 pounds. Thus, they have enough sauce to make and sell ten pizzas in a day.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking how many pizzas a pizzería can make with the available tomato sauce and whether they have enough to sell ten pizzas. To find out, we need to divide the total amount of tomato sauce by the amount required for each pizza. We have 4 pounds of tomato sauce and each pizza requires 0.25 pounds.
To calculate the number of pizzas they can make, we divide 4 pounds by 0.25 pounds per pizza:
Number of pizzas = Total sauce ÷ Sauce per pizza
Number of pizzas = 4 pounds ÷ 0.25 pounds/pizza = 16 pizzas.
Since they sell ten pizzas a day, and we calculated that they can make 16 pizzas, it's clear that they will have enough tomato sauce for the day's sales.
The mention of supply and demand, such as Qd = Qs, and the formula Qs = 2 + 5P do not apply directly to this problem, but they imply that in general situations, market equilibrium is achieved when the quantity demanded by consumers (Qd) equals the quantity supplied by producers (Qs).
