The phony bologna meat company offers two platters. platter a comes with 4 hamburgers, 3 hot dogs, and 2 pig's feet, and costs $15. platter b comes with 3 hamburgers, 4 hot dogs, and 5 pig's feet, and costs $12. a picnic organizer requires 220 hamburgers, 270 hot dogs, and 250 pig's feet. (there can be leftovers, but these are the minimum requirements.) what is the minimum cost (in dollars)?

Platter A 60 and Platter B 10, minimum cost = $870.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phony bologna meat company offers two platters.

Platter a. :  4 hamburgers

( $15.00 )    3 hot dogs

                  2 pig's feet

Platter b.    3 hamburgers

($12.00)      4 hot dogs

                   5 pig's feet

A picnic organizer requires 220 hamburgers, 270 hot dogs, and 250 pig's feet.

He has to order platter - B, quantity - 60,  price = 60 × 12 = $720. His requirement fulfilled for :

220 hamburgers ( 60 × 3 = 180 ) Need more 220 - 180 = 40

270 hot dogs ( 60 × 4 = 240 ) Need more 270 - 240 = 30

250 pig's feet. ( 60 × 5 = 300 ) Need = 0

Now He has to order Platter - A, quantity - 10 Price = 15 × 10 = $150

He will get 40 hamburgers, 30 hot dogs and 20 pig's feet

So his requirement is fulfilled by ordering Platter B 60 and  Platter A 10.

the minimum cost would be = $870.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
