The caterer had 55 pounds

Answer:

More than 55 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The caterer used 45 pounds of poultry and therefore if the caterer had more than 10 pounds left, the the original amount is greater than 45 pounds. Let y be the pounds of poultry left:

\(y>45+10\)

\(y>55\)

Therefore the caterer had more than 55 pounds of poultry orginally.
