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
44 pounds
gonna type so i can post this because of the 20 character limit :P
Hi there!
The Eqn. is :-
1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
Combining the like terms :-
1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3
- 3x = - 15 + 3
- 3x = - 12
x =

x = 4
Hence, the required answer is → x = 4
~ Hope it helps!
Answer:
X = 10 or scale factor is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
first look at the scale factor going from 4 to 10, to get from 4 to 10 you would need to multiply 4 by 2.5. Since this problem doesnt give us the smaller scale factor first we need to divide 25 by 2.5 which equals 10.
