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
3 less then x.......x - 3
is equal to 13...= 13
x - 3 = 13 <==

Answer:
A: 1
B: 17
C: 26
D: 42
E: 57
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction
--------------------------------------------
Convert 6&1/2 to an improper fraction
6&1/2 = (6*2+1)/2
6&1/2 = (12+1)/2
6&1/2 = 13/2
--------------------------------------------
Do the same for 9&1/4
9&1/4 = (9*4+1)/4
9&1/4 = (36+1)/4
9&1/4 = 37/4
--------------------------------------------
Now multiply the improper fractions 13/2 and 37/4. Multiply straight across
(13/2)*(37/4) = (13*37)/(2*4)
(13/2)*(37/4) = 481/8
--------------------------------------------
The last step is to use long division to find the mixed number equivalent of 481/8
Or we an say
60*8 = 480
So 60*8+1 = 480+1
which means
481/8 = (480+1)/8 = 480/8+1/8 = 60&1/8
Making the final answer to be choice C
Another way to get the answer is to convert 481/8 into a decimal to get 60.125 and then convert that back to a mixed number. You should get 60&1/8
