A catering company is catering a large wedding reception. The host of the reception has asked the company to spend a total of $454 on two types of meat: chicken and beef. The
chicken costs $5 per pound, and the beef costs $ 7 per pound. If the catering company
buys 25 pounds of chicken, how many pounds of beef can they buy?

The answer is 47 pounds

Explanation:

1. First, let's calculate the amount of money that was spent on chicken

$5 per pound of chicken x 25 pounds = $125

2. Calculate the amount of money left to buy beef by subtracting the total spend on chicken to the total of the budget.

$454 (total) - $125 (chicken)  =  $329

3. Calculate how many pounds of beef you can buy with the money left by dividing the money into the price for one pound.

$329 / $7 = 47 pounds

725 parts per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

hi there, this answer is actually really simple.

you can set it up as 1450/2 or 3625/5 to find the answer.

they want to know how much per hour is being made, so you just divide.

1450/2=725.

and that's how many are produced per hour.

hope this . : )
