Answer 1

1: $1.75

2: 1470 calories

3: $172.32

4: 350 in

5: 14 tabs

6: 2.22 weeks

Explanation:

1: (2*3.75)+(1*4.85)+(2*2.95) = 18.25

20-18.25 = 1.75 dollars

2: 2500-(520+220+290) = 1470 cal

3: 209.59+59.33+121.35+137.95+107.14+36.96 = 672.32

672.32-500 = 172.32 dollars

4: (30*12)-10 = 350 in

5: (3*24)/4 = 18 total doses in 3 days,

2 tabs per dose -> 18*2 = 36 tablets taken

50-36 = 14 tabs

6: 45*5 = 225 patients per week

500/225 = 2.22 weeks
