Question

By 8:00 a.m., the snack bar had made $3,256 in sales. By noon, the snack bar’s total sales were $8,821. About how much money did the snack bar take in each hour between 8:00 a.m. and noon?

$814.00
$1,391.25
$2,205.25
$5,565.00

Answer 1

b) $1,391.25

Explanation:

Noon is at 12pm, so 8am-12pm will be 4 hours.
8821-3256=5565, so the snack bar made $5565 in 4 hours, to find how much it made in 1 hour we need to divide 5565 by 4.

5565/4=1391.25
