Question

A restaurant Chef is ordering supplies he order 6 lb of beef at $10.49 per pound 6 lb of potatoes at $10.50 a pound and then pounds of carrots at $6.75 per pound. He estimates that he can make 21 meals if he charges $47.70 per meal how much profit will he make

Answer 1

Find the total spent on the food:

10.49 x 6 = 62.94

10.50 x 6 = 63.00

6.75 x 6  = 40.50

Total = 62.94 + 63.00 + 40.50 = $166.44

Next find the total in sales:

47.70 x 21 = $1001.70

Profit = total sales - cost of food:

Profit = 1001.70 - 166.44 = $835.26
