Question

The formula is m=4a+2c, where c= number of children; m= number of meatballs; a= number of adults how many meatballs are required for a party of 25 adults and 7 children

Answer 1

Hey Carol

so we are given c=7  (c is number of children)

and also we are given a=25 number of adults 

so we just replace a and c in the equation be 25 and 7 respectively

m=4(25)+2(7)

m=100+14=114 

so 114 meat ball for 25 adults and 7 children
