Question

A food bank sends a truck with 400 pounds of food to each of five local food pantries every week, and receives a government surplus shipment of 3,200 pounds every other week. If it has 10,000 pounds of food on hand at the begining of July , how much will it have six weeks later?

Answer 1

Answer:

6,400

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation is shown below:-

But before that find the total number of pound in five local bonds

= 400 × 5

= 2,000

Now the amount at six week later is

= Food pounds + 3 × number of pounds + 3 × suplus shipment

= 10,000 + 3 × 2,000 - 3 × 3,200

= 10,000 + 6,000 - 9,600

= 6,400

Therefore according to the given situation the correct answer is 6,400
