Answer:

- The store sold 733 gallons of ice cream last month.

- The store sold 748 pounds of broccoli last month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ice\ Cream = 623

\%\ Ice\ Cream = 15\%

Broccoli = 912

\%\ Broccoli = 22\%

Solving (a): Gallons of Ice Cream

<em>Let Gallons sold last month be G1; Gallons sold this month be G2;</em>

The relationship between both is:

G2 =G1 - 15\% * G1

Substitute 623 for G2

623 =G1 - 15\% * G1

623 =G1 - 0.15 * G1

623 =G1 - 0.15 G1

623 =0.85 G1

Divide through by 0.85

G1 = 623/0.85

G1 = 732.941176471

G1 = 733

Solving (b): Pounds of Broccoli

<em>Let Pounds sold last month be P1; Pounds sold this month be P2;</em>

The relationship between both is:

P2 =P1 + 22\% * P1

Substitute 912 for P2

912 =P1 + 22\% * P1

912 =P1 + 0.22 * P1

912 =P1 + 0.22 P1

912 =1.22 P1

Divide through by 1.22

P1 = 912/1.22

P1 = 747.540983607

P1 = 748

Incomplete question. The full question read;

The producer of the news station posted an article about the high school’s football championship ceremony on a new website. The website had 500 views after four hours. Create a table to show how many views the website would have had after the first, second, and third hours after posting if the website receives views at the same rate. How many views would the website receive after 5 hours?

Answer:

<u>625 views</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> we are told to <u>base our calculation on the assumption that the website receives views at the same rate.</u>

Hence, if after 4 hours there were 500 views, it means the average views per hour would be 500/4 = 125 views. So for every hour, there would be 125 added views to the total.

In other words,

First hour: <u>125 views</u>

Second hour:<u> </u><u>250 views (125 views + 125 views</u>)

Third hour: <u>375 views (250 views + 125 views)</u>

Fourth hour: <u>500 views (375 views + 125 views)</u>

Fifth hour:<u> 625 views (500 views + 125 views)</u>
