Answer:
Chef made profit = $248.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Restaurant chef ordered 4 pounds of beef at $9.25 per pound
Cost of beef = $4×9.25 = $37
He ordered 6 pounds of potatoes at $6.75 per pound
Cost of potatoes = $6×6.75 = $40.50
He ordered 5 pounds of carrots at the rate $9.80 per pound
Cost of the carrots = $5×9.80 = $49
Total cost of the stew = $37 + $40.50 + $49
= $126.5
Chef charges $12.50 per serving for 30 people.
So total selling price = $30×12.50
= $375
Therefore, profit made by the chef = Selling price - Cost price
= $375 - $126.50
= $248.50
Therefore, profit generated by the chef is $248.50
