Answer 1

Answer:

96 meatballs are required

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for he catering business is

$m=4a+2c$

Where

c= the number of children, m=the number of meat balls, a= the number of adults

So if $c = 8$  and $a = 20$ then

$m = 4(20) + 2(8)$

$m = 80 + 16$

$m = 96$

Finally  96 meatballs are required for the party
