Answer:
38,325 dinners.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that last year the manager of a health care facility served 36,500 dinners. The manager estimates an increase of 5% in the number of dinners to be served next year.
The estimated number of dinners next year would be 36,500 plus 5% of 36,500.
[tex]36,500+(\frac{5}{100}\times 36,500)[/tex]
[tex]36,500+(0.05\times 36,500)[/tex]
[tex]36,500+1,825[/tex]
[tex]38,325[/tex]
Therefore, 38,325 dinners will be served next year.
