Cafeteria Lunch Buffet

A cafeteria lunch buffet has the salads shown.
6 chicken salads
10 egg salads
8 tuna salads
p pasta salads

The cafeteria workers plan to make twice as many fruit salads as tuna salads and pasta salads combined.

Part A
Using p to represent the number of pasta salads, write an expression that can be used to determine the number of fruit salads the cafeteria workers plan to make. Use your expression to compute the number of fruit salads they will make if p = 5. .Show your work.

Part B
The cafeteria sold 3/4 of the chicken, egg, and tuna salads combined. Each salad sold for $7.99. What was the total sales amount for chicken, egg, and tuna salads? Show your work.

Part C
The next day the cafeteria workers will increase the number of chicken salads to 9 and the number of tuna salads to 12. They want to increase the number of egg salads by the same ratio. How many egg salads should they make the next day? Show your work

Idk I asked u

Part A:

To determine the number of fruit salads the cafeteria workers plan to make, we need to first calculate the total number of tuna salads and pasta salads combined. Let's call the number of pasta salads "p."

If we add the number of tuna salads (8) and the number of pasta salads (p), we get, 8 + p.

Now, the cafeteria workers plan to make twice as many fruit salads as tuna salads and pasta salads combined. So, we multiply this sum by 2:

2 * (8 + p)

This expression represents the number of fruit salads the cafeteria workers plan to make.

If we substitute p with 5, we can compute the number of fruit salads:

2 * (8 + 5) = 2 * 13 = 26

Therefore, if p = 5, the cafeteria workers plan to make 26 fruit salads.

Part B:
To calculate the total sales amount for chicken, egg, and tuna salads, we need to know the number of each salad sold and the price per salad.

Let's denote the number of chicken salads as "C," the number of egg salads as "E," and the number of tuna salads as "T." The salad price is $7.99.

The total number of salads sold is given by the sum of the number of chicken, egg, and tuna salads sold: C + E + T.

Since each salad sold for $7.99, the total sales amount is given by the product of the number of salads sold and the price per salad: (C + E + T) * $7.99.

Part C:
To determine the number of egg salads they should make the next day, we need to find the same ratio of increase that occurred for chicken and tuna salads.

First, we calculate the initial ratio of egg salads to chicken salads: (10 egg salads) / (6 chicken salads) = 5/3.

Next, we use this ratio to determine the number of egg salads with the increased number of chicken salads (9) and tuna salads (12):

(9 chicken salads) * (5/3) = 15 egg salads

Therefore, the cafeteria workers should make 15 egg salads the next day.
