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%:

8000.60=800 * 0.60 = 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:

50.20=5 * 0.20 = 1 55 - 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:

480/480 / 4 = 120 sandwiches

So, the administrator can buy 120 sandwiches within the specified budget.
