Question

Jasmine is reviewing recent orders at her deli to determine which meats she should order. She found that of 1,000 orders, 550 customers ordered turkey, 305 customers ordered ham, and 225 customers ordered neither turkey nor ham. Based on this data, how many of the next 1,000 customers will order both turkey and ham? Show your work, and use complete sentences.

Answer 1

@phi

Answer 2

First, find the number of customers that order turkey, ham or both

that will be 1000 minus the # who ordered neither.

can you do that ?

Answer 3

I believe so- just one second.

Answer 4

775?

Answer 5

yes.

next we find the number who order ham or turkey
(add up 550 customers ordered turkey, 305 customers ordered ham)

Answer 6

855

Answer 7

now 855 is bigger than 775. That means some ordered both ham and turkey

Answer 8

Ok- That makes sense.

Answer 9

So I'm looking for the difference: 855-775?

Answer 10

A difference of 80?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Thank you! Would you mind please helping me with one more?

Answer 13

to test the logic, let's say
1 got ham
1 got turkey
1 got both

then the # that got ham= 2
# that got turkey = 2
sum together is 4

total that got ham or turkey= 3

4 -3 = 1
which matches the # that got both.

Answer 14

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for breaking it down for me.

Answer 15

Thanks Again @phi !
