Question

Overview: Our Bistro features a popular French Country Meatball Sandwich on the lunch menu. We are open 6 days a week and sell 80 sandwiches per day. Chef's meatball recipe makes 60 meatballs. It calls for 8 lbs. of ground sirloin, and the food cost on that recipe is $81.70. We serve 3 meatballs on each sandwich

Using the above data, think like a Chef and calculate the answers to these five questions - be sure to show your calculations:

How many sandwhiches can we serve with one meatball recipe?

Answer 1

One recipe makes 60 meatballs and each sandwich uses 3 meatballs. By dividing 60 by 3, we find that 20 French Country Meatball Sandwiches can be served with one meatball recipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many sandwiches can be served with one meatball recipe, we need to know the number of meatballs the recipe yields and the number of meatballs used per sandwich. According to the information given, one recipe makes 60 meatballs and each sandwich requires 3 meatballs. To calculate the number of sandwiches that can be made from one recipe, we would divide the total number of meatballs by the number of meatballs per sandwich.

Calculating the number of sandwiches:
Total meatballs per recipe / Meatballs per sandwich = Number of sandwiches
60 meatballs / 3 meatballs per sandwich = 20 sandwiches

Therefore, with one meatball recipe, you can serve 20 sandwiches.

Each meatball recipe makes 60 meatballs, and we serve 3 meatballs on each sandwich. Therefore, the number of sandwiches that can be served with one meatball recipe is:

Number of sandwiches = Number of meatballs / Meatballs per sandwich

Number of sandwiches = 60 meatballs / 3 meatballs per sandwich = 20 sandwiches

We can serve 20 sandwiches with one meatball recipe.
