A catering company orders 150 lb of fresh clams for a banquet serving 100 people, and 30 lb of clams for dinner party of 20 people. Determine the standard number of clams per serving.

about two clams per person

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 1.5 lb per serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this is just a matter of proportions.

Here is our current proportion:

150lb

100 guests

Now, all we need to do is make it per one guest.

150lb     =      x lb

100 guests = 1 guest

Now, to get from 100 to 1, I divided by 100, right?

So, because this is a ratio, and it needs to be proportional, we do the same for 150.

150/100=1.5.

It is 1.5 lb per serving.

50=33x+22
