2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480

Alex defeated Griffin by 2 feet and 5 inches. 2.5
How to solve: 35.4 - 32.9 = 2.5 :))
Remember that a percentage means "parts out of 100". 24% in decimal form is therefore 0.24, because it is 24 out of the possible 100, or 1.0. To find 24% of 75, you just multiply 0.24 times 75:
75 x 0.24 = 18
