A restaurant chef was ordering supplies. He ordered 6 pounds of beef at 10.49 per pound, 6
pounds of potatoes at $10.5 a pound and 9 pounds of carrots at $6.75 per pound. He
estimates that this will make 21 meals. If he charges 47.7 per meal how much profit will he
make?
(21×47.7)-((6×10.49)+(6×10.5)+(9×6.75))
ans: 815.01
Answer: Profit= $1,225.09
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this we have calculate the total cost and the earnings:
Cost of the supplies:
Beef: 4 pounds at $9.25 per pound: 4 x 9.25= $37
Potatoes: 6 pounds at $6.96 per pound: 6 x 6.96= $41.76
Carrots: 5 pounds at $9.81 per pound: 5 x 9.81= $49.5
Total cost = 37 + 41.76 + 49.5 = $127.87
Price of the meals: $48.32 each (28 made)
Earnings: 48.37 x 28 = $1,352.96
Finally we subtract the cost to the earnings:
Profit = earnings- total cost = 1,352.96 -127.87 = 1,225.09
