Question
A company is holding a workshop for their employees and the administrator has been asked to buy sandwiches for the attendees. The manager has allowed the administrator to spend 60% of the total catering budget for the workshop. The total catering budget is USD5 but the company has a 20% discount coupon.How many sandwiches can the administrator buy within the specified budget? 80 sandwiches 90 sandwiches 100 sandwiches 110 sandwiches 120 sandwiches
Solution
First, we need to calculate how much money the administrator has to spend on sandwiches. The manager has allowed 60% of the total catering budget to be spent on sandwiches. So, we multiply the total catering budget by 60%:
480
Next, we need to calculate the price of each sandwich after the 20% discount. We multiply the original price of the sandwich by 20% and then subtract that amount from the original price:
1 1 = $4
Finally, we divide the total amount the administrator has to spend on sandwiches by the price of each sandwich after the discount to find out how many sandwiches can be bought:
4 = 120 sandwiches
So, the administrator can buy 120 sandwiches within the specified budget.
