The table lists recommended amounts of food to order for 25 party guests. Nathan and Amanda are hosting a graduation party for 40 guests. They know there will also be guests stopping by who may have come from other parties. For ordering purposes, they will count each of these "drop-in" guests as half a guest. How much of each food item should Nathan and Amanda order for a graduation party with 45 drop-in guests?

Fried Chicken
28 pieces
Deli Meats
4 and one third
pounds
Lasagna
10 and three fourths
pounds

25 guests is 2.5 times more than 10

Multiply each order by 2.5

Chicken = 16 x 2.5 = 40

Lasagna = 7 x 2.5 = 17.5 , round to 18

Deli meat = 1.8 x 2.5 = 4.5, round to 5

Sliced cheese = 15 x 2.5 = 37.5, round to 38

Buns = 1 x 2.5 = 2.5, round to 3

Potato salad = 2 x 2.5 = 5
