There are about 20 potatoes in a 5 pound bag. Mr. Washington and Mr. Hamilton’s restaurant uses about 2 potatoes per order of French Fries. They charge $.95 for an order of Fries. How much money does the restaurant take in on a day that they use 400 pounds of potatoes? Show work
5 pounds = 20 potatoes 400 pounds = x (cross-multiply above and you'll get 400 pounds = 1600 potatoes ) divide that by 2, and you'll get 800 (because 2 potatoes per fries) 1 = $0.95 (1 because i divided 1600 by 2, if in hadn't it would be 2) 800 = x (you cross multiply again), and you'll get $760 Hope it helped!
