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
ANSWER: 480 cartons
1. Distributive Property.
<span>4(3a + 7) + 3(2a + 5)
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
2. Combine like terms
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
18a +48
The equivalent expression is 18a + 48. If a = anything then the expressions will still be equivalent.

Answer:
a+b=6
a-b =4
______subtract
(a-a)+(b-(-b))=6-4
0+2b = 2
b= 1
put the value of b at any equation
a+1 =6
then a=6-1=5
a square+b square= 25+1= 26
