Carmen is putting together a business plan for her sandwich restaurant, Subs Away, so she can expand to another location. She wants to include some information about recent sales but only has certain information about last month's sales. She currently offers ham, turkey and vegetarian sandwiches. She sells the ham sandwiches for $10 each and the turkey sandwiches for $11.25.

Last Month's Vegetarian Sales

Total Sandwiches Sold 75

Total Income $712.50

How much does Carmen charge for the vegetarian sandwich?

Answer:

 $X=9.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Total Vegetarian Sandwiches Sold $T_{vs}=75$

Total Vegetarian Sandwiches Income $T_{vi}= 712.50$

Generally the equation for Cost of vegetarian sandwich is mathematically given by

 $X=\frac{Total\ income\ from\ vegetarian\ sandwich}{No.\ of\ vegetarian\ sandwich\ sold}$

 $X=\frac{T_{vi}}{T_{vs}}$

 $X=\frac{712.50}{75}$

 $X=\ 9.5$
