food inventory on march 1 was 13,750. march food purchases were 24,137.50
food inventory on march 31 was 13,250 and total meals were 57,500. calculate the food cost per meal.

How does "inventory" relate to "purchases"? Are these all "food"?

What was the date of the first "inventory on march [date omitted]"?

What is meant by "total meals were 57,500"? Is this the number of meals served over some time period?

What have you tried? How far have you gotten?

Thank you.
