If you have 6 oz of dough and 4 oz of sauce per person at the party, and the total weight is 130 oz, how many people are at the party?

Answer :

Answer:

78 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the number of guests (including the host) at the party by the variable "g".

Since you need 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce for each guest, the total weight of the dough and sauce you need for "g" guests is:

6g + 4g = 10g

We know that the total weight of dough and sauce you bought is 130 ounces, so we can set up an equation:

10g = 130

Solving for "g", we get:

g = 13

So there are 13 guests at the party (including the host). To find out how many ounces of dough you bought, we can multiply the number of guests by the amount of dough per person:

6 ounces/person x 13 guests = 78 ounces

Therefore, you bought 78 ounces of dough.
