Answer 1

Given :

Kim waters catering from the midtown dinner for $35.

She spent the amount on potato salad  = $5.00

and spent the amount on turkey sandwiches = 35 - 5 = $30

To find :

The number of sandwiches Kim ordered.

Solution :

The price of one turkey sandwich = $2.50

She spent the amount on turkey sandwiches = $30.00

The number of sandwiches she bought =  $\frac{30}{2.50}$

                                                                  = 12 sandwiches

Kim bought 12 sandwiches.
