Elle Burch · Answer 1

First, let's find the number of lunches:

14*3 = 42

To find how many lunches have ham sandwiches, we multiply the total number of sandwiches by the percentage of the ham sandwiches:

0.55 * 42

Multiply:

23.1

We can round down:

There are about 23 lunches with ham sandwiches
