Curry Chicken Rice

~A restaurant makes curry chicken rice with rice, chicken, and potatoes.

~In making 10 bowls of curry chicken rice, the restaurant paid $30 for rice and $50 for chicken.

**If a bowl of curry shicken rice is sold at $30 and the restaurant makes a 200% profit, what is the cost of potatoes per bowl?

The restaurant is making a 200% profit when it sells a bowl for 30.   If the bowl cost 15 to make it would be making a 100% profit.  The bowls must cost 10 to make.

10 x200%profit + 10 cost = 30

10 bowls cost 100 to make   so    100= 30 +50 +potatoes = 80 + potatoes   20 = potatoes  (for 10 bowls)      $2 = cost of potatoes per bowl.

Well since chicken costs 5 dollars to make and rice 3. then potateos must cost 7 dollars b/c 5+3=8 30/2=15 8+7=15

10 x200%profit + 10 cost = 30

10 bowls cost 100 to make   so    100= 30 +50 +potatoes = 80 + potatoes   20 = potatoes  (for 10 bowls)      $2 = cost of potatoes per bowl.
