Answer:

$292.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Victoria wants to serve each 58 guests one mini hamburger.

Each hamburger uses the amount of meat = 1 lb.

Total quantity of meat, she should purchase = 58 lb.

Each hamburger uses the amount of roll = 1

A package of roll has 6 rolls, for 58 hamburgers she must buy

= [tex]\frac{58}{6}[/tex]

= 9.66 ≈ 10 package

∵ the cost of a pound of meat = $4.39

∴ the cost of 58 pounds of meat = 58 × 4.39

                                                      = $254.62

∵ The cost of a package of rolls = $3.82

∴ the cost of 10 package of rolls = 10 × 3.82

                                                      = $38.20

Total cost of supplies = 254.62 + 38.20 = $292.82

It will cost $292.82 to buy supplies for the guests.
