Question

Can someone help me with question 3

Answer 1

2. Alana needs to sell 52 boxes of cookies:

She sold 7 boxes to her aunt

She sold 2 boxes to her mother

She sold 15 boxes to her neighbor

you add 7+2+15 = 24 boxes of cookies that she sold

We need to find out how many more boxes of cookies she needs to sell-

We take the 24 boxes she sold and subtract from 52 boxes that she needs to sell.

24 - 52 = 30

The answer is 30, she needs to sell 30 more boxes.

3.  Sam, Jimmy and Andre shared a number of pennies in the ratio 8:5:3

Sam (8), Jimmy (5) and Andre (3)

How many more pennies did Jimmy receive than Andre?

you subtract 3 - 5 = 2

The answer is 2 more pennies.

4. Jamila spent $33.00 and Akiko spent $ 42.00  

Jamila  had 4 times as much money left as Akiko. How much money did each of them have in the beginning?

Since Akiko spent the highest amount- you will have to go with the higher amount to find the answer

4 x $42.00 = $168.00

They both in the beginning had $168.00

I hope this helps.
