Question

Last night, the two dinner specials at Bob's favorite restaurant were salmon filet and filet mignon. The restaurant served 70 specials in all, 80% of which were salmon filets. How many filet mignon did the restaurant serve?

Answer 1

Based on the given parameters, the number of filet mignon the restaurant served is 14

How to determine the number of filet mignon the restaurant served?

From the question, the given parameters are:

Dinner specials =  salmon filet and filet mignon.

Dinner specials = 70 dinner specials

Salmon filets =  80%

This means that the proportion of filet mignon is

filet mignon = 100%- Salmon filets

This gives

filet mignon = 100%- 80%

Evaluate the difference

filet mignon = 20%

The number of filet mignon is calculated as:

filet mignon = 20% * Dinner specials

Substitute the known values in the above equation

filet mignon = 20% * 70

Express 20% as decimal

filet mignon = 0.20 * 70

Evaluate the product

filet mignon = 14

Hence, the number of filet mignon the restaurant served is 14

So, the complete parameters are:

Dinner specials =  salmon filet and filet mignon.

Dinner specials = 70 dinner specials

Salmon filets =  80%

filet mignon = 14
