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
That would be D
the first 3 = -12x + 24
bur D = -12x - 24
Answer: -9n+20
This is the same as 20-9n
================================================
Explanation:
The jump from 11 to 2 is "minus 9"
The jump from 2 to -7 is also "minus 9".
Assuming this pattern continues on, we have an arithmetic sequence with
- a = 11 = first term
- d = -9 = common difference
The nth term can be found like so

Let's check the answer by trying n = 3

This shows the third term is -7, which matches what the original sequence shows. The answer is partially confirmed. I'll let you check the other values of n. You should get 11 when trying n = 1, and you should get 2 when trying n = 2.
Answer:
B. -7 and 17
Explanation:
Plug in the given number for x.
f(3)=4(3)+5
=12+5
=17
f(-3)=4(-3)+5
=-12+5
= -7
