    Answer: 25 guests is 2.5 times more than 10

    Multiply each order by 2.5

    Chicken = 16 x 2.5 = 40

    Lasagna = 7 x 2.5 = 17.5, round to 18

    Deli meat = 1.8 x 2.5 = 4.5, round to 5

    Sliced cheese = 15 x 2.5 = 37.5, round to 38

    Buns = 1 x 2.5 = 2.5, round to 3

    Potato salad = 2 x 2.5 = 5
