Isn't it just 6.8? Pretty sure that is the answer
I got 20.
I may have done it wrong so maybe wait until others have answered.
The correct answer for this problem is A.
Yes they can because the two smaller numbers add up to be more than the bigger number
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we know she sold 24 hot dogs at half price. We do not know the total number of hot dogs.
Secondly, we know that 30% of the hot dogs were sold at half of the price. This means 70% were sold at full price.
Now there are two approaches to this. I'm going to take the easier one.
What we are expressing mathematically is that 30% of a certain number equals 24. Let the total number of hot dogs she had that day at her stand be x.
This mean 30% of x = 24.
30/100 × x = 24
30x = 24× 100
30x = 2,400
x = 2,400/30 = 80.
This means she had a total of 80 hot dogs that day. Since we know the number she sold at half price, it's now easy to calculate the number she sold at full price.
This number now equals 80 - 24 = 56 hot dogs.
This mean Mandy sold 56 hot dogs at full price.
