c=# of caviar
b=# of bologna
a=# of liver
5c+2b=.10a=100

well she only made three types of sandwiches (caviar, bologna, and liverwurst) she made a total of one-hundred all together. it looks like you are going to be dividing three into one hundred and using good old common sence about the rest. listen go out of the pre-algebra area of the site and click on something smart like caculus and they will help you just try not to get on there nerves
