- Weekly Sales: Since you are open 6 days a week: \[ \text{Weekly Sales} = 80 \text{ sandwiches/day} \times 6 \text{ days/week} = 480 \text{ sandwiches/week} \]
Meatball Requirement

-
Weekly Batches Required: \[ \text{Weekly Batches} = \frac{1440 \text{ meatballs}}{60 \text{ meatballs/batch}} = 24 \text{ batches/week} \]
-
