Question

500 portions of strawberries have been ordered for the tournament, but because of bad weather only
5
6
of the order has been delivered.



10% of those delivered are given to the players and staff.

How many portions of strawberries can be sold?

Answer 1

We conclude that 375 portions can be sold.

How many portions can be sold?

We know that 500 portions have been ordered, but only 5/6 of that was delivered, so the number of delivered portions is:

p = (5/6)*500 = 416.6

Which we can round to the next whole number, 417.

Now we know that 10% of these are given to the players and staff, then the number of portions that can be sold is the 90% of 417, which is:

N = 417*(90%/100%) = 417*0.9 = 375

We conclude that 375 portions can be sold.
