Dear Math Students:

I recently bought a restaurant in Chicago.  It ispretty small, but well-located.  We are open every day,but Mondays, from 4 PM until 11 PM.  Our menu isbasically Italian.  We offer individual pizzas, pastas,salads, and a special of the day. We also have really gooddesserts. We offer cookies, ice cream and superbcakes.  Last month we had 800 customers.  Oursalads are considered a whole meal, so people don’t usually orderanother entrée with them.  Last month, we sold 400pizzas, 200 pasta dishes, 130 salads, and 70 specials of the day.Not everyone orders a dessert, but last month we sold 200 cookies,100 ice creams, and 250 cakes.  Next week we areexpecting 250 to 300 customers.  I need to know how manyof each of the entrees and how many of each of the desserts I canexpect to sell.

I would also like to know how much money I can expect tomake.  Perhaps you could also let me know how much theaverage customer spends. Let me tell you the prices.  Thepizzas are $7.95.  The pastas are sold for$8.95.  The salads are $6.95.  The special ofthe day is $9.95.  As for the desserts, the cookies are$1.00, the ice cream is $1.50, and the cakes are $3.00

Thanks a lot for your help, I am not very good at math, butperhaps you could try to explain your answers in such a way that Icould estimate them for myself next time.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Smith
