To easier digest this question, we can multiply the 120 servings by 4 ounces to make it into a common unit of measurement. This way, we can compare ounces with ounces instead of ounces to servings.
We then have 480 servings, and the poor caterer only has 60 ounces. We can put that into a fraction, 60/480. From here, things get slightly easier. All we have to do is make it into a fraction we can digest, which would be 1/8. We can turn that fraction into a decimal by simply dividing. We have 0.125.
Since we are changing from a decimal into a percent, we have to move the decimal point two places to the right. We have out final answer of 12.5%.

-70y^2+90x^3+100yx^2-63xy<br>factor by grouping
Alexeev081 [22]
The idea of grouping is to get the terms in groups that allow you to factor out from each group something that becomes a factor in itself, leaving two factors behind that are alike. Like this: rearrange those terms so they are in this order:
(-70y^2 - 63xy) + (90x^3 + 100yx^2).  Now out of the first set we are going to factor out a -7y, and out of the second set we are going to factor out a 10x^2. When we do this, this is what we get: -7y(10y + 9x) + 10x^2(9x + 10y). As you can see, what's inside both sets of parenthesis is the same, just in a different order. We can factor that out now, leaving (9x + 10y)(10x^2 - 7y). And that is factored by grouping.
