Question

London needs enough soup for a party of 60 people.each person will be served 3/4 of a cup of soup.soup is sold in 1 quart containers that cost $12.50 each. how much will london pay for the soup

Answer 1

Therefore, London will pay $575.00 for the soup.

Explanation:

There are 4 cups in 1 quart, so 1 quart can serve 4/3 = 1.33 people (approx.)

To serve 60 people, London needs 60/1.33 = 45.11 quarts of soup (approx.)

Since soup is sold in 1-quart containers, London needs to buy 46 quarts (to ensure enough soup)

The cost of each quart container is $12.50, so the total cost will be:

46 quarts x $12.50/quart = $575.00

Therefore, London will pay $575.00 for the soup.
