Question

Josh and Anthony have a lemonade stand. They charge $1 for 2 cups of lemonade. They sell 14 cups each afternoon. Is it reasonable to say Josh and Anthony earnd more than $50 in 3 afternoons?

Answer 1

Yes because 2x14 is 28 and 28x3 is 84 since they earned 28 dollars each afternoon and the problem asked did they earn more than $50 in 3 afternoons so if they earned 28 in a afternoon you should multiply 28 and 3 to get the product of 84! (I hope this helped!)

Answer 2

No, because 14 cups of lemonade divided by 2 is 7, or, $7. $7 multiplied by 3 ( 3 afternoons) is 21, or, $21.
