Answer:

Tues=8 Weds=24 Thurs=120

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be modeled by the equation x+3x+15x=152

x is the amount sold on tuesday, 3x is 3 times the amount sold on tuesday so it represents wednesday and 15x represents thursday as it is 5 times the amount sold on wednesday.

Now we just need to solve for x to figure out how many he sold each day.

x+3x+15x=19x

19x=152

x=152/19

x=8

To find the amount sold on each day just mulitiply x by the coefficient

Tuesday = x = 8

Wednesday = 3x = 3*8 = 24

Thursday = 15x = 15*8 = 120

a tea company surveyed shoppers at two different malls. shoppers were asked whether they prefer sweetened or unsweetened tea. at
FromTheMoon [43]
First, let's create the ratios of sweetened to unsweetened. To do this, you would have to subtract the number of people that preferred unsweetened from the total.
Westside mall: 15:30 or \frac{15}{30}
Eastside mall: 13:26 or \frac{13}{26}

Now, you would divide to both ratios.
15 ÷ 30 = 0.5
13 ÷ 26 = 0.5 

They have the same sum, meaning, they are the same. 

Westside Mall shoppers are just as likely to prefer unsweetened tea as Eastside Mall shoppers. 

I hope this helps!
