Question

4. Two friends, Sequoia and Raven, sold organic chap sticks at the local market.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sequoia sold 2 chap sticks while Raven sold 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two friends, Sequoia and Raven, sold organic chap sticks at the local market, and Sequoia sold her chap sticks for $ 4 and Raven sold hers for $ 3 each, and in the first hour, their total combined sales were $ 20, if in the first hour, the friends sold a total of 6 chap sticks between them, to determine the number of chap sticks each of the friends sold during this time the following calculation must be performed:

6 x 4 + 0 x 3 = 24

5 x 4 + 1 x 3 = 23

2 x 4 + 4 x 3 = 20

Therefore, Sequoia sold 2 chap sticks while Raven sold 4.
