your catering company has been awarded a contract for 250 shrimp salad sandwiches. using the information respond to the following question...
if 1 sandwiches cost you $3.50 to make, how much would the material cost be for 250 sandwiches​

Respuesta :

Answer:

$875

Explanation:

In this problem, we know that the cost of 1 sandwich is

[tex]c=\$3.50[/tex]

If we have a total of N sandwiches, then the total cost to produce them can be found by using the rule of three:

[tex]\frac{1}{c}=\frac{N}{C}[/tex]

where C is the total cost to make N sandwiches.

By re-arranging the formula, we find:

[tex]C=Nc[/tex]

where in this problem, the number of sandwiches is

N = 250

And therefore, the total cost here is:

[tex]C=(250)(\$3.50)=\$875[/tex]
