Question

24. A farmstand collected $350 from sales on Wednesday. This amount was $75

Answer 1

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Wednesday sales = $350

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was $75 greater than the amount collected from sales on Tuesday, then Tuesday's sales were $75 less than Wednesday's sales:

• Tuesday sales = $350 - $75 = $275

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was two times as great as the amount collected from sales on Monday, then Monday's sales were half Wednesday's sales:

• Monday sales = $350 ÷ 2 = $175

To calculate how much more the farmstand collected from sales on Tuesday than it collected on Monday, subtract the Monday sales from the Tuesday sales:

• $275 - $175 = $100

Answer 2

Tuesday sales and Monday sales be T and M respectively

Wednesday sales be W

So as per question

• T+75=W
• T=W-75
• T=350-75
• T=$275

And

• 2M=W
• M=W/2
• M=350/2
• M=$175

Difference

• T-M=275-175=$100
