Question

If 14 people show up to a cookout and you make 21 hot dogs, how many will you need to make if 105 people up?

Answer 1

Answer: If 105 people show up, you will need to make 158 hot dogs.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• 14 people ⇒21 hot dogs
• 105 people ⇒x

First, we have to divide the 21 hot dogs made by the 14 people that showed up.

21/14 = 1.5 hot dog per person

Now, we simply multiply that result by 105:

1.5 x 105 = 157.5 ≅158 hot dogs

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer 2

Explanation:

let x = number of of hot dogs that 105 people will do

therefore

14 people = 21 hot dogs

105 people = x hot dogs

14 x 105 people = 21 x Xhotdogs

1470 = 21X

divide through by 21

1470/21 = 21X/21

70 = X

X = 70

therefore,

105 people will makev 70 hot dogs
