Answer 2

Answer: 1) The total number of boxes that Avery sold as a mixed number is $4\frac{2}{5}$

2) The total number of candy bars she sold is 88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

1) $20\text{ bars}=1 \text{ box}$

$\implies 1\text{ bar}=\frac{1}{20}\text{ box}$

$\implies 8\text{ bars}=\frac{8}{20}\text{ box}$

$\implies 8\text{ bars}=\frac{2}{5}\text{ box}$

If she sold 4 boxes and an additional 8 bars,

Thus, the total number of boxes she sold = 4 boxes + 2/5 boxes

= $4\frac{2}{5}$

2) Now,

$1\text{ box}=20\text{ bars}$

$\implies 4\text{ box}=80\text{ bars}$

If she sold 4 boxes and an additional 8 bars,

Thus, the total numbers of bars she sold = 80 bars + 8 bars = 88 bars.
