Tony must make approximately 9 more sandwiches.

50+75+16= 141

150-141=9

Answer : The more number of sandwiches he make must be, 9

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Number of beef and cheese sandwiches = 50

Number of ham and cheese sandwiches = 75

Number of tuna sandwiches = 16

Total number of sandwiches made in morning = Number of beef and cheese sandwiches + Number of ham and cheese sandwiches + Number of tuna sandwiches

Total number of sandwiches made in morning = 50 + 75 + 16

Total number of sandwiches made in morning = 141

Now we have to determine the more number of sandwiches must Tony make.

More number of sandwiches he make = Total number of sandwiches boss wants - Total number of sandwiches he made in morning

More number of sandwiches he make = 150 - 141

More number of sandwiches he make = 9

Thus, the more number of sandwiches he make must be, 9
