Tina makes 480 sandwiches she only makes tuna sandwiches, beef sandwiches, hand sandwiches and cheese sandwiches.3/8 of the sandwiches are tuna and 35% of the sandwiches are beef.The ratio of the number of ham sandwiches to the number of cheese sandwiches is 5:6Work out the number of ham sandwiches that Tina makes
Accepted Solution
A:
Total no. of sandwiches = 480 No. of tuna sandwiches = 3/8*480 = 180 sandwiches No. of beef sandwiches= 35% of 480 = 35/100*480 = 168 sandwiches Remaining no. of sandwiches = 480-(168+180) = 132 sandwiches Let no. of ham sandwiches be 5x Let no. of cheese sandwiches be 6x 5x + 6x = 132 11x = 132 x = 132/11 = 12
No. of cheese sandwiches = 6x = 12*6 = 72 sandwiches No. of ham sandwiches = 5x = 5*12 = 60 sandwiches
