Real-Life Math
You are an executive assistant working in a small architectural firm.
The company has just announced that it has won a prestigious industry award.
Naturally, this is calls for a celebration. As an executive assistant, you
are required to handle a wide range of duties and responsibilities. Your boss
has told you he wants you to help organize the celebration dinner. He has
put you in charge of catering.
You know of a great catering company
so you call them up right away. They give you four entree choices: Veggie-stuffed
tomatoes, smoked salmon with horseradish sauce, beef tenderloin with grilled
red peppers, and roasted veal with fresh herbs and peppercorn sauce. You
send out an e-mail informing the employees of the delicious entree choices
and asking them what they would like to eat. This is what they say:
Barb would like the veal
Tony loves beef
So do Angela, Russell,
Ann, and Greg
Laura feels like veggies
Ben chooses the veal
Alex
wants veal
Sam will take the salmon as will John, Pat, and Meg
Oliver
can only choose the veggie dish
And you will have the beef
This
takes care of everyone. How many of each dish do you need?
