Question

Your catering company has been awarded a contract for 250 shrimp salad sandwiches. using the information respond to the following question...
if 1 sandwiches cost you $3.50 to make, how much would the material cost be for 250 sandwiches​

Answer 1

Answer:

$875

Explanation:

In this problem, we know that the cost of 1 sandwich is

$c=\ 3.50$

If we have a total of N sandwiches, then the total cost to produce them can be found by using the rule of three:

$\frac{1}{c}=\frac{N}{C}$

where C is the total cost to make N sandwiches.

By re-arranging the formula, we find:

$C=Nc$

where in this problem, the number of sandwiches is

N = 250

And therefore, the total cost here is:

$C=(250)(\ 3.50)=\ 875$
