Question

Mike is catering a party. He plans on having 4 trays of 5 appetizers each on the buffet at the beginning of the party and will rotate in new trays as those become empty. To ensure that he does not run out of appetizers during the party, he is going to make 2 appetizers per person in addition to the initial number put out on the buffet. Which of the following represents A, the amount of appetizers Mike needs to make, in terms of p, the amount of people attending the party?

Answer 1

I can’t see tour answer choices, but I’ll give an equation that will hopefully match one. Feel free to add in the comments what the answer choices are, and I will follow up.

A = 4(5) + 2p
A = 20 + 2p
A = 2p + 20
A = 2(p + 10)

I’m getting the 20 from the 4 trays of 5 appetizers on the buffet. I’m getting the 2p from the “two appetizers per person”

Answer 2

A = 20 + 2p
