Question

Albert works at Zippy Burger. Today he is assigned to box fries during the lunch hour. His manager randomly weighs 10 of his large fries and finds that, on average, he is 'over-stuffing' them by 1.5 oz each. It costs the restaurant 5.2¢ per oz for fries. How much will Zippy Burger lose if 484 orders of large fries are made by Albert this lunch hour? (Assume he overstuffs every large fry by 1.5 oz.)

Answer 1

For this we can do 5.2 cents times 1.5 to determine how much zippy is costing the company per box extra so .052 x 1.5 is roughly 7.8 cents per box. So now 7.8 cents Times 484, .078 x 484 is roughly $37.752 cents or $37.75
