To calculate how much money the restaurant takes in on a day they use 400 pounds of potatoes, we first need to determine how many potatoes are used in total.
Given that there are about 20 potatoes in a 5-pound bag, we can calculate the number of potatoes in 400 pounds by dividing the weight by the weight of one 5-pound bag:
400 pounds ÷ 5 pounds/bag = 80 bags
Next, we can calculate the number of potatoes used in total by multiplying the number of bags by the number of potatoes in each bag:
80 bags × 20 potatoes/bag = 1600 potatoes
Since the restaurant uses about 2 potatoes per order of french fries, we can calculate the number of orders by dividing the total number of potatoes by the number of potatoes per order:
1600 potatoes ÷ 2 potatoes/order = 800 orders
Finally, to calculate how much money the restaurant takes in, we multiply the number of orders by the price per order:
800 orders × $0.95/order = $760.00
Therefore, the restaurant takes in $760.00 on a day they use 400 pounds of potatoes.
