Four entrees are on next Friday's menu: BBQ ribs, seafood platter, roast beef, and filet mignon. The
number of each item sold the last time this menu was offered was 76, 118, 96, and 154, respectively, for
a total of 444 entrees sold. For the past five Fridays, the following noon meal counts were recorded:
447, 423, 437, 444, and 429. For next Friday, how many portions of roast beef will be forecasted?
A. 101
B. 98
C. 94
D. 95 - Correct Answers: D. 95; Step 1
Determine the average number of entrees sold over the past 5 weeks
447 + 423 + 437 + 444 + 429 = 2180
2180 total entrees/5 weeks = 436 entrees/week
Step 2
Calculate the popularity index for roast beef based on the entrée count the last time the menu was
offered
,96/444 = 21.6%
Step 3
Determine the amount of roast beef using the popularity index and the average number of entrees over
the past 5 weeks
.216 x 436 = 94.176
Step 4
The answer needs to be a whole number, and 94 is not enough portions, so round up to 95.

A recipe requires 1¾ cup quick-cooking tapioca. Tapioca is purchased in twelve 8-oz boxes in a case and
costs $41.88 per case. Three cups of quick-cooking tapioca weighs 1 lb. What is the recipe cost for
tapioca?
A. $2.33
B. $4.07
C. $5.24
D. $6.98 - Correct Answers: B. $4.07; One case of tapioca contains 12 8 oz boxes for a total of 6 lb (12
boxes x 0.5 lb = 6 lb). To calculate the price per pound, divide the total cost of the case $41.88 by 6 lb to
get $6.98 per lb. Then the price per cup will be determined knowing that 3 cups of tapioca weighs 1 lb.
To get the price per cup, divide $6.98 by 3 cups to get $2.33 per cup. Finally, to get the price for 1¾ cups,
multiply $2.33 per cup by 1.75 to get $4.07.
