There are about 20 potatoes in a 5 pound bag. mr. washington and mr. hamilton’s restaurant uses about 2 potatoes per order of french fries. they charge $.95 for an order of fries. how much money does the restaurant take in on a day that they use 400 pounds of potatoes? show work.

First, how many potatoes are there in the 400 pounds that they used?

let's first check how many 5 pound bags those are: 400/5=80. So they're using 80 5-pound-bags.

each of those bags has 20 potatoes, so there are 20*80=1600 potatoes in total.
How many servings of french Fries are those?
there are 2 potatoes in a serving, so 1600/2=800.

so they sold 800 servings of french fries.

now we can ask how much they earned! each serving costs .95, so in total they earned 800*0.95=760

so the answer is that they take in 760 dollars in such a day!
