Answer 1

Answer: The answer is the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x oranges were sold on Thursday, what is two times that? Well, 2*x is the same thing as 2x. When a variable and a number a put together, that means it is being multiplied. So, on Thursday x oranges were sold, and on Friday twice as much as that were sold. So, at the bottom, in the red part wold be x and 2x. The blue bar is the total number of oranges sold, which is 108.

Answer 2

108 is the total amount. That’s why it’s the top biggest box. The two smaller boxes make up the total of 108. X is the amount she made on Thursday. 2x is the amount she made of Friday.
