Answer 1

Given:

• Each person needs 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce.

,

• Total of 130 ounces of dough and sauce all together.

Let x be the number of persons.

So, the equation is,

6x+4x=130

Solving the equation, we get

`\begin{gathered} 6x+4x=130 \\ 10x=130 \\ x=13 \end{gathered}`

So, there are 13 persons.

a) To find the number of ounces of dough were used at the party:

Since, 6x is the number of ounces of dough were used at the party.

So,

`13*6=78\text{ ounces}`

Hence, the number of ounces of dough were used at the party is 78 ounces.

b) To find the number of ounces of sauce were used at the party:

Since, 4x is the number of ounces of sauce were used at the party.

So,

`13*4=52\text{ ounces}`

Hence, the number of ounces of sauce were used at the party is 52 ounces.

c) To find the number of people in the party:

Number of people in the party is x=13.
