Answer:
265.2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(6*13)=234
2*15.6=31.2
234+31.2=265.2
The answer depends on the perspective; however, this question is often meant to be a "trick question"; with the answer being: 2 (two) apples!
_______________________________________________
The rationale behind this answer is that if there are three apples, but you "take 2 away" you now have "2" apples, because YOU are the one who "took away the 2 apples"—so presumably, YOU have the "2 apples" that YOU "took away"!
maybe 28 is the answer...
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.
We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.
__
The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...
(126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6
Then Wendy must sell an additional ...
(1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags
to increase her earnings to $126.
