at one point in a girl scout cookie sales drive, region c had sold 1,800 boxes of cookies and region d had sold 1,400 boxes of c

tia_tia [17]

From the calculation below, the number of days it will take region d to catch up with region c is 8 days.

<h3>How do we calculate the number of days from the word problem?</h3>

The number of days it will take region d to catch up with region c can be calculated using the following formula:

c = d + 50y ................... (1)

c = the number of boxes sold by region c = 1,800

d = the number of boxes sold by region d = 1,400

y = number of days it will take region d to catch up = ?

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solving for y, we have:

1,800 = 1,400 + 50y

1,800 - 1,400 = 50y

400 = 50y

y = 400 / 50 = 8
