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
First we define the varible to use:
x = represent the number of cookies
Cameron:
The amount of cookies he made was:
x
Deyonne:
We can rewrite the amount in different ways:
x + 0.25x
1.25x
Then, the total revenue is:
0.50 * (x + (x + 0.25x))
We rewrite:
0.50 * (x + 1.25x)
0.50 * (2.25x)
Answer:
The following expressions represent possible revenue from the sales:
F. 0.50 (2.25x
C. 0.50 (x + 1.25x)
A. 0.50 [x + (x + 0.25x)]
X+6+2x+4+x+3= 180
4x+13=180
4x= 167
x=41.75
Angle ABC= 47.75
Angle CBD= 87.5
