Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number=x
5x=7x-110
7x-5x=110
2x=110
x=110/2=55
We conclude that 375 portions can be sold.
<h3>
How many portions can be sold?</h3>
We know that 500 portions have been ordered, but only 5/6 of that was delivered, so the number of delivered portions is:
p = (5/6)*500 = 416.6
Which we can round to the next whole number, 417.
Now we know that 10% of these are given to the players and staff, then the number of portions that can be sold is the 90% of 417, which is:
N = 417*(90%/100%) = 417*0.9 = 375
We conclude that 375 portions can be sold.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
so the socket set has a 40% off, what is 40% of 36? well, is just (40/100) * 36, or 14.4, that's the discount, so the sale price is 36 - 14.4, or 21.6.
plus the 8.25% taxation, what is 8.25% of 21.6? well, is just (8.25/100) * 21.6, or 1.782.
so the total price is 21.6 + 1.782, or 23.382, or about 23 bucks and 38 cents.
