    To find out how many pounds of turkey breast Joe will need for 20 people, he can set up a proportion and solve for x, the amount of turkey he needs.

    pounds of turkey 5 x

    # of people 8 = 20

    Use cross products to solve for x.

    8x = 5 x 20

    8x = 100

    8 8

    x = 12.5 pounds

    Joe will need 12.5 pounds of turkey.
