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

Anil completes the 72km journey between Bristol and Cardiff in 48 minutes. He then drives 69km from Cardiff to Swansea at an ave
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Step-by-step explanation:

we simply need to get the total distance and the total time and put them into relation, norming it to distance in 1 hour. after all, speed is always an average number over a period of time (even if it is a tiny period of time).

the total distance is

72 + 69 = 141 km

he drove 69 km going 60 km/h.

how much time did he need ?

we need to get the hours out of an expression of km and h.

so, we need to do

69 km × 1/60 km/h = 69 h / 60 = 69 minutes = 1.15 hours =

= 1 h 9 minutes

so, the total time was

48 + 69 = 117 minutes = 117/60 = 1.95 hours

the average speed for the whole trip was then

141 km / 1.95 h = 141/1.95 km / 1 h = 72.30769231... km/h
