They need to sell 33, unless you round it up then 34.
I would say D because 15 to -9 would be going down 24.
When you plug in the numbers for the integers, you get
8.2-2(-3.7)
If you multiply -2 and -3.7, you get 7.4 because the negatives cancel each other out.
If you then add 8.2, you get 15.6. So the answer is D.
Hope it Helps! :)
Answer: Choice B
Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number is more than negative four and five tenths.
======================================================
Explanation:
2.4 = 2 + 0.4
2.4 = 2 and 4/10
2.4 = 2 and 4 tenths
2.4 = two and four tenths
-------------------
Through similar reasoning,
6.2 = six and two tenths
And also,
-4.5 = negative four and five tenths
---------------------
Notice how 6.2 - x translates into "difference of six and two tenths and a number"
We then multiply that by 2.4, aka two and four tenths.
So that's how we get the phrasing "Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number"
All of this is greater than -4.5 aka negative four and five tenths.
This points us to Choice B as the final answer.
