Answer: 78 ounces of dough was bought.
52 ounces of sauce was bought.
There were 13 guests .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of guests
As per given, For each person 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce is required.
i.e. Total ounces of dough and sauce together required = 6+4=10
The dough and sauce is 130 ounces all together.
i.e.
Divide both sides by 10 , we get
x= 13
i.e. there were 13 guests .
Total ounces of dough = 6 x ( Number of guests) = 6 x 13= 78 ounces
hence, 78 ounces of dough was bought.
Total ounces of sauce = 4 x ( Number of guests) = 4 x 13= 52 ounces
hence, 52 ounces of sauce was bought.
