Question

The ingredients are doubled in the large Totally Turkey Sandwich. On Wednesday, three times as many customers ordered the regular sandwich as the large sandwich. If 27 customers ordered the regular sandwich, how many total slices of turkey were used to make the sandwiches that day?

Answer 1

Answer:

45 slices of turkey used

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to figure out this problem we first need to calculate the total amount of sandwiches that were ordered. Since 27 regular sandwiches were ordered and we know that three times as many customers ordered the regular sandwich as the large sandwich. Then we simply divide 27 by 3 to find out how many large sandwiches were ordered.

27 / 3 = 9 large sandwiches.

Now, assuming that each regular sandwich only takes one slice of turkey, we can multiply 9 by 2 since each large sandwich takes double the slices and add that to 27 to calculate the total number of slices used in all of the sandwiches for that day.

(9*2) + 27 = s

18 + 27 = s

45 = s

There were a total of 45 slices of turkey used.
