A catering company is catering a large wedding reception. The host of the reception has asked the company to spend a total of $454 on two types of meat: chicken and beef. The
chicken costs $5 per pound, and the beef costs $ 7 per pound. If the catering company
buys 25 pounds of chicken, how many pounds of beef can they buy?

The answer is 47 pounds

Explanation:

1. First, let's calculate the amount of money that was spent on chicken

$5 per pound of chicken x 25 pounds = $125

2. Calculate the amount of money left to buy beef by subtracting the total spend on chicken to the total of the budget.

$454 (total) - $125 (chicken)  =  $329

3. Calculate how many pounds of beef you can buy with the money left by dividing the money into the price for one pound.

$329 / $7 = 47 pounds

48 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you may want to find the length of the missing side.

You'll notice that the side across from the missing side is 14 cm. The other side that is across from the 14 cm side (and is parallel to the missing side) is 9 cm. So you would do 14-9 = 5 cm for the missing side.

Then, you just add up all of the side lengths to get the perimeter.

6+10+14+4+9+5 = 48 cm
