    a. 14.13 Hamburger per week b. 13.78 Hamburger per week

    Explanation:

    a. First of all we can convert all the items on the menu to a same unit.

    1 Cheese Burger = 1.29 Hamburger

    1 Chicken Sandwich = 0.8 Hamburger

    So in the first week total output of the restaurant is

    Output = 700 Hamburger + 900 Cheeseburger + 500 Chicken Sandwich

    or

    Output = 700 Hamburger + 900*1.29 Hamburger + 500*0.8 Hamburger

    Output = 2261 Hamburger

    And as there are 4 workers so total input is

    Input = 4*40 = 160 hours

    The productivity is given by

    Productivity = Output/Input

    So

    Productivity = 2261 Hamburgers/160 Hours

    Productivity = 14.13 Hamburger per week

    b. If the restaurant sold 720 of each sandwich, then total output would be given by

    Output = 720 Hamburger + 720 Cheeseburger + 720 Chicken Sandwich

    Output = 720 Hamburger + 720*1.29 Hamburger + 720*0.8 Hamburger

    Output = 2204.8 Hamburger

    So the productivity would have been

    Productivity = 2204.8 Hamburgers/160 Hours

    Productivity = 13.78 Hamburger per week

    Which would have been lower as that of in the first case.
