    Let us assume the number of sandwiches made by Deli = x

    Amount of roast beef required for making 1 sandwich = (1/4) pound

    Total amount of beef that Marisa started with = 5 pounds

    Amount of beef that was left = (3/4) pounds

    Then

    [ (1/4) * x] + (3/4) = 5

    (x/4) + (3/4) = 5

    (x + 3) / 4 = 5

    x + 3 = 5 * 4

    x + 3 = 20

    x = 20 - 3

    = 17

    So we can see from the above deduction that 17 Deli sandwiches was made by Marisa. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
