2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480
ANSWER: 480 cartons
Answer:
Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve these kind of question we just simply keep on inserting the values of x and if we get the required value of y that is in the table that equation is our answer, For example lets take Option A,
y = 8x
If we insert x = 0 we get,
y = 8(0)
y=0
but in the table it says we get 14 so option A is incorrect
Like this we keep checking for more values and all the values of x satisfy our equation in Option B like this,
and so on so Option B is the answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer was 0.2
i am pretty sure the answer is:
= -20r + 20
Luis spent $9.50, in which:
Candy (y) = $1.25
Chips (x) = $0.50
$9.50 = 1.25y + 0.50x
Luis bought 10 snacks in all
10 = x + y
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You're answer:
x + y = 10
1.25y + 0.50x = 9.50

hope this helps
