Answer 1

78 ounces of dough was bought. 52 ounces of sauce was bought.

There were 13 guests .

Explanation:

Let x = Number of guests

As per given, For each person 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce is required.

i.e. Total ounces of dough and sauce together required = 6+4=10

The dough and sauce is 130 ounces all together.

i.e.

Divide both sides by 10 , we get

x= 13

i.e. there were 13 guests .

Total ounces of dough = 6 x ( Number of guests) = 6 x 13= 78 ounces

hence, 78 ounces of dough was bought.

Total ounces of sauce = 4 x ( Number of guests) = 4 x 13= 52 ounces

hence, 52 ounces of sauce was bought.
