Mel had some cartons of milk. He sold 2/5 of the cartons in the morning. He then sold 3/4 of the remainder in the afternoon. 24
more cartons were sold in the afternoon than the morning. How many cartons did Melissa start with?
1 answer:
Sold 2/5 in the morning.....leaving 3/5
he sold 3/4 of 3/5 in the afternoon......3/4 * 3/5 = 9/20
2/5 = 8/20
9/20 - 8/20 = 1/20...so he sold 1/20 more in the afternoon.
so if 1/20 = 24, then 20/20 = 24*20 = 480
so he started with 480 cartons
