Answer:
(a)The total sales of ice-cream last month is 702 gallons.
(b)The total sales of broccoli last month is 510 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
Total Sales of gallons of ice cream this month = 597
Since it represents a decrease of 15% of last month's sales
Let the total sales of ice-cream last month =x
Then:
(100-15)% of x =597
85% of x=597
0.85x=597
x=597/0.85
x=702 (to the nearest integer)
The total sales of ice-cream last month is 702 gallons.

<u>Part B</u>
Total Sales of broccoli this month = 617 pounds
Since it represents an increase of 21% of last month's sales
Let the total sales of ice-cream last month =y
Then:
(100+21)% of y =617
121% of y=617
1.21y=617
y=617/1.21
y=510 (to the nearest integer)
The total sales of broccoli last month is 510 pounds.

Both solutions are x<span> = 2 and x = -2 are correct
because
</span>when x = 2 , |2| = 2
and
<span>when x = -2, |-2| = 2
hope it helps</span>
